Paradigm Studio 20 V3 Tweeter Swap


Hey  guys, has any one tried switching out the stock S-Pal tweeter in Studio 20 V3 with an Signature G-Pal? if so, was there a discernable difference in the brightness? Speakers are tube driven with LP and (now) streaming (thanks to finally getting internet and Bluesound Node) the main listening venues.

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.

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......

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
