While I do not have experience directly comparing Stadium II and III, I can say with a fair degree of certainty that there is little practical difference and therefore the cost differential is not justified. The primary (only?) difference between the II and the III is the power of the amplifier (100 vs. 200 wpc). I have never turned my Stadium II volume control above 25%. You tell me whether the extra 100 watts will make a significant difference.
The Stadium II provides extraordinary power, speed and control. Hard to imagine bass getting much better unless you were to go up to a Stentor or Studio, which are configured much differently than the Stadium. Good luck!
