Paradigm Studio 100 v.3 vs, v.4


I can get an almost new Paradigm Studio 100 v.3 for $1200 or almost new Paradigm Studio 100 v.4 for $1700 both plus shipping at about $250. I'm sort of new to better equipment and before most of my sound equipment came from the big box store for a lot less money.

I had the chance to hear a pair of Studio 60’s and was so impressed I was going to buy them for $1295. A little work found my way to this web site and some great deals. I have never heard the Studios 100’s..

Are the 100’s as good I think they are and if you were buying would you go for v.3 or spend the extra go v.4

Could really use some advice from the knowledge base…

Thanks

I liked the series 3 over the series 4(owned the 100v.2 v.3 and heard demo of v.4) And I think Paradigm makes some great stuff, despite some bad reviews on this site. The fact is Paradigm speakers can be a litle harsh with the wrong equipment. Regardless of what you may have heard, the 100 v.3's are very revealing, they will really let the garbage recordings come through. More then lots of more expensive speakers Ive owned. Personally, Id find some warm equipment to tame the tweeter, and you will be in hi end heaven. I would go for the 100 v.3's with a sub. I know most say its overkill, but I just find it sounds better even crossed over(and can be crossed over lower!) and also by the time you buy nice stands, how much have you really saved? If you have the room, go with 4qty studio 100's and you wont believe your home theater and muti channel audio sound.
