Paradigm Studio 100's: Version 2 vs. Version 3

Just wondering if anyone has heard both the V2's and V3's. What differences were noted, what changes have been made to the newer version?

What I don't like with the V3 is the weight..The speaker has lost some 17 kg..I don't understand that..from V1 to V2 the weight gain was significant..it was heavy bracing..now the weight has gone down again..no heavy bracing..

I would not think of using a sub with V1 or V2 but with V3, I would think of using one which is etremely musical..
