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…

I have ver3 studio 20s, 550center and adp470 surrounds. Was going to add the 100s for mains but ended up switching to Dali Helicon here on agon. 100s are full size speaker for larger room and better bass.
Version4 was said to be faster for better imaging, especially if you go with signature line. Think they switched tweeter to beryllium in ver4.
Paradigms are a great HT speaker but now, to me, they sound shrill compared to the ribbon tweeters in the Dalis.
If your set on paradigm I would go for ver4 series. enjoy!
