Paradigm Speaker Question:

Hello,

I have some Monitor Audio Bronze B2 speakers currently. I just finally sold my B&W 303s. I wanted to use the money from the sale and the "one year no-loss" trade up policy to change my B2s.
I want to try out Paradigms this time, and reading all the reviews on the Studio 40s, I wanted to get that. Unfortunately, my dealer only carries the Paradigm Monitor line. According to him, most of his customers end up with the Monitor Audio Silvers after listening to them and the Paradigm Studios, so he does not sell the Studios.

Anyway to cut to the chase, I tried the Paradigm Monitor 9 and the 11s, and liked them both very much. Not being a trained listener and I only have budget equipment (Rotel RA-1060 Amp, and 961 CD player), will there be enough of a difference between the Studio 40 and the 11s?

What I mean is if you were in my shoes, would you sell your B2s on your own (loosing the no-cost trade up) and go to the other dealer in town that does have the Studio 40 instead of getting the Monitor 11s? I will go and take a listen myself to the 40s, but I still wanted to get some opinions.
These speakers are intended only for my music system set up in the living room which is large (20' X 15') and open with high vaulted ceilings etc.

Thanks.
