I brought the studio ref v2 homeand found them lacking in 2 areas, slight lack of midrange resolution and the finish was paper thin otherwise for the asking price great speakers. The Dali oberon 9 would be the same price but might surprise you otherwise why not the founder line?
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.
