    Paradigm Reference - V2 vs V3

    I have some Paradigm Reference V2 stuff,

    Just wondering if anyones compared or upgraded to the v3 stuff?

    One reason for my Question is that my Center the Studio CC v2 is a little on the small side. The new Studio 570 v3 center is a little bigger, and has a midrange driver.

    Is it worth upgrading?

    i compared a lot of v2's before my current v3 setup.
    For the most part, the v3 tweeter is a little better.
    If i'm not mistaken your CCv2 is almost identical to my CC-470.

    There's a couple folks who would whole heartedly suggest that upgrade (the 570). It seems to have a tad more control of the vocals and, when i heard it, it actually does have a more disperse field as far as off-axis listening goes.
    Is it worth it for you?
    hmm.
    i dunno.
    I see by your profile you have 60's. Would you also be upgrading those to match the new tweeter?
    I'd be content, bud.
    I'm thoroughly enjoying my centre.
    The only upgrade i'd attempt is if i switched lines to say- either the signature C5 or B&W's N series. But then again, now we're dealing with 1000's of bucks instead of a couple hundred

    heh
    cheers,

      Paradigm Reference Sub 12
      by NMG
      Hi folks,

      Has anyone had the chance to audition the Paradigm Reference Sub 12? I'm considering it as a replacement for my Paradigm PW-2200 to be paired with my B&W 703's for 2 channel and HT duties. I suspect I'd keep the 2200 and run it as a secondary sub for HT as well.

      1095 too much for Paradigm Studio 20?
      by Bill Blank
      I've got a Rotel 1066/1075 combo and have been contemplating an upgrade in the amp department. I'd like the system to be a tad more effortless with music and more amplifier power is usually the solution. Thing is the 20's are only rated up to 150 watts. Now I know speaker power ratings aren't good for...

      'Plug and Play' with Rotel and Paradigm?
      by D1 Meyer
      I'm new to the forum and will soon be acquiring a new stereo system. Based on the reading I've done, and the friends I've talked to, I expect to base the system on a Rotel pre-amp (RC-1070 or RC-1090), a Rotel amp (RB-1070 or RB-1080), and Paradigm Reference Studio 20 speakers. Unfortunatley, we live...

      Upgrading from Paradigm Reference to B&W . . .
      by NMG
      Hi everyone, I'm hoping you can guide me a little bit here. I'm currently looking at whether to get into 5.1 or upgrage my current 2 channel system. I'm looking at B&W speakers for my possible 2 channel system upgrade and I thought perhaps you could share some of your expertise.
