i recently bought the v2s over the v3s. i found the v2s to
be warmer with better mids then the v3s. the v3s
are definitely brighter, almost too bright. the other factor is weight. the v2s are approx 90lbs/each compared to the v3s 60lbs. that alone told me that paradigm has skimped on the new reference line. i got the rosenut wood
which looks just killer, a feature not available on the v3s
it may sound dumb but the v2s sound more "expensive" than the v3s. i am running a rotel 966 processor/ rotel 985 amp
with 2x120w to each v2, and let me tell you i am in love
with the bass response. the v2s just grunt out bass notes
with awsome clarity. for less money i feel i got a better
product. when i bought we listened to v2/v3 side by side
and everybody in the shop agreed that the v2s were better,
but listen for yourself, they are both great speakers.
