FS: Single Paradigm Studio 20 v3

[Jason Coleman]

I've got a single mint-condition Studio 20 v3 in Black Ash finish for sale. I have the original packaging and paperwork and I'm asking $275 + shipping from 44060. I purchased the pair from a fellow Audioholics member and UPS lost one of the speakers in transit. By the time UPS settled the claim and cut the insurance check, our dealer wasn't able to get his hands on another single 20 (with the release of the v4) and Paradigm is out of stock on the Black Ash finish. I unfortunately can't use the 20 as a CC or as a back surround in a 6.1, so I'm hoping to sell it.

I also have a Pioneer Elite DV-45a for sale and several Monster Cable S-Video/Stereo Audio Interconnect kits.

PM if interested and I'll be happy to post pics.

There are those, myself included who find a single studio twenty superior to the cc center. With three identical speakers up front the sound stage is seamless. I did the test of the CC center and a single studio 5 - 6 years ago at home. The specifics I remember is the CC just sounded like it did not match the 20s. Like it was from a different speaker brand. Swap out to a single 20 as center, and I found sonic bliss. The best "tweak" I ever did, and the 20 was about half the price of the CC center too!

I know a lot of people who are very happy with CC centers and that in their homes and using their equipment that get excellent results with the CC center. This is just my two cents.

Thanks for the reply and the observation.

I hate to part with this speaker, but I had purchased them for a 2.0 setup in our study and simply can't use the single anywhere else. We're using the CC-570 for our 100's and I've got the ADP-470's in back with a large doorway right between them.

Damn. I have a similar setup as JC but want to swap out my rear ADPs for a set of 20s. I've been looking for TWO v3 20s since the v4s came out. So close. So close.

Price reduced to $250 + shipping.
