I owned the Studio 100 V2 for about 3 years in the early 2000s. They were nice speakers for their price point and time period. Many other speakers have come and gone in that time. I have owned the Double Impacts with the $300 upgrade for a little over a month. The DIs significantly out perform the Studio 100s in every sonic parameter for my tastes. Not even close.
I have had the Paradigm Signature S4s twice and ran with a JL sub since then. I liked them enough to buy them twice. I enjoyed the Sigs much more than the Studios. Again for my tastes the DIs do everything better. YMMV
