Rocket 850 upgrade to Studio 100v5, worth it?

[RipcordAFF]

I am considering upgrading from my Rocket set up (850s, bigfoot) to the new Paradigm Studio 100v5. Does anyone think this would be a worthwhile investment? I am very happy with the 850s home theater performance, but I was wondering if the studio 100s would provide some extra performance for 2 channel music.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks!

We compared the 850's to the 100's .v4, and they were very very close in performance IMO...

I would say it wouldn't be a huge move.....

Would love to see a comparison of the Rockets vs JTR....

Would a rocket 850 front two not blend well with a paradigm center?

Are you not happy with your current center speaker?

Since the center speaker basically just gets the dialogue, I don't think you really need a bigger center speaker.

This.

Now if we're talking credibility of the companies, Paradigm wins hands down.
