Paradigm Studio 20 V3 Tweeter Swap

Audiogon Discussion Forum

That seems to be more beryllium oriented and was hoping for someone with actual S-PAL for G-PAL switch. I know it's not a huge change, but a little less bright would be good for higher volume.

Just buy new speakers. Those Studio 20s don’t owe you anything at this point, and there are a ton of much better monitors out there today at very affordable prices. Plus, there’s a very good chance the new tweeter doesn’t work well in your speaker with its crossover that wasn’t designed for that tweeter to work optimally. Sell them so someone else can enjoy them and put the proceeds toward better speakers — that’s what I’d do anyway. Best of luck.

Great Speakers. I have Studio 40 v2.  Keep returning to them.  Good luck.

Bad idea to change tweeters! Chances of getting a proper match is nil.

Or consider a tone control?

Love the speakers, just a little bright at higher volume. Tube amp has no tone controls? What's a speaker you guys could suggest with similar sound but a warmer tweeter. And I'm in an area with practically zero ability to demo, so I only have past experience and interwebs reviews......

What’s your budget, and are you open to buying used?  Also, what’s in the rest of your system including cables?

OK, If this is sill alive, I have a very modest setup and retired on limited budget. I'm definitely not in the "audiogon" league with equipment, but unfortunately have audiogon ears. I have a little starter kit with an old Technics SL-Q2 turntable that i added about 10 lbs of clay in the bottom, a Yaqin MS-23 phono amp and a Jolida JD502BRC amp with Tung-Sol KT120 power tubes. I live in an old log cabin with open space and vaulted ceilings. Floors are covered with thick rugs, log walls, and lots of big leather furniture. The Studio 20's with 2 PDR-10 subs don't sound half bad in here, but like i said the high end gets a little harsh when volume goes up. Would like to move to a used best bang for the buck 3-way floor standing speaker around $2000 or less. I know this is not anyones ideal setup, but would love the expert input on a set of floor standers to fill the space. Thanks
