Paradigm Monitor 5v2 - Studio 40 v3 - worth it?

I'm planning to upgrade my Monitor 5 V2 with premiere S-series stands & NAD c320BEE int. amp within the coming weeks, I am thinking of just making a step up the ladder to the studio 40s with a higher end NAD int amp also (c352/372).

Anyways, I am wondering what you guys think about the studio 40 v3s vs the monitor 5 v2s? Is the price difference worth it? And what do you recommend for amplification for a room about 15x20 in size.

Speedball,

You could check out the Audio Analogue models which I thought sounded terrific with my 40 v2's. I had them connected to the Puccini SE Remote.

Mboldda1,

I am not familiar with the sound of Denon 2000ivr, but I do have a stanby amp which is a Denon PMA-S10, picked up just last week for $250 in very good condition. The amp sounds great especially it surprised me with very tight bass.

I was able to drive a variety of speakers effortlessly, I am still in the midst of evaluating it and so far I drove four speakers with it, Kef Reference Two (4 Ohms), Rogers LS3/5a (11 Ohms), Chartwell LS3/5a (15 Ohms) and Energy XL-25 (8 Ohms. I was not able to find much info on it on the web. Is the 2000ivr in the same league as S10 I have? Can you share any info?

Thanks
