Upgrade path from Paradigm Studio Reference V3


Looking for suggestions on speaker upgrade path. Primary listening preference is rock/pop. Enjoy moderate to high volume extended listening sessions.

VTL 2.5 Pre with Mazda Nos tubes

Bryston 4bsst2 Amp 300/ch.

2X Paradigm Studio Servo 15 subs

I don’t like forward sound due fatigue in extended listening at volume but I do appreciate a certain sparkle from the tweets. I deplore tweeters that sound blurred on cymbols hiss hiss hiss.

The speakers absolutely must have dynamic slam/impact. I want to feel it in my chest at higher volumes. Not too concerned with accuracy per se.

You never really said which Studio’s you have, but the V3 is in the middle of their time frame. The Paradigm Signature S6 V3’s are excellent, and should have a familiar sound for you, but much improved. They were discontinued when the Persona line was launched a few years ago, so your only option will be used.
