New Speakers - Paradigm

[borrego]

Hi all,

I currently have Paradigm Monitor 9's version 2 and am looking at getting Studio 60's. I listen to music 80/20, and was wondering if it is worth the upgrade? Obviously the Studio 60's are better but will it be much better? Also, are the Studio's 100's a better bet? I have a smaller size living room with a Yamaha receiver with an Adcom GFA-555 amp. I listened to the 60's and I preferred them over the 100's, however I also listened to the latest version of the Paradigm Monitor series and they also sounded great. Any advice on whether I should upgrade to the 60's?

I have only compared the previous rev Monitor 7 to the Studio line and found the Studios to be a good step up.

Can you arrange an in home demo of the 60s or 100s? In the end, only you can decide whether an upgrade is in order.

I can probably arrange an in home demo, since I bought the last pair at the dealer. I guess that is the only way to really tell. My local dealer had the studio 20 or 40's with a REL sub and a mid level Yamaha receiver and it sounded incredible. Of course it was a perfect room for sound.

Excellent! He will take you seriously if he remembers the last sale.
