I owned the Haydn's and traded them in for the Bach's. They were my first silk tweeters and I fell in love with the Bach's. What type of music do you listen to? I listen mainly to rock and while some would argue the VA line isn't a good rock speaker I enjoy it. It does have some problems at louder levels...the woofer bottoming out. This goes for both the Haydn and the Bach.
I haven't heard the Ref 20's, but some think these are unbeatable at their price point and class.

If you could share with us what you are looking for in a speaker we may be able to help out a bit more.
Yes,the Haydens are great. If you can get the Bach's you be getting a better deal for the money. The sound that they produce is quite excellent. The Bach is almost twice the Hayden.

I have heard both and the VA's are well above the S-20's. Paradigm does a lot right but VA is just more detailed and less "speaker present" that the Paradigm. Also the Haydens have a much more beautiful cabinet. If you like the Haydens you will be sold on them after hearing the Paradigms.
