    Default Paradigm Reference Studio 20 v5 loudspeaker

    http://www.stereophile.com/content/p...v5-loudspeaker




    Summing Up
    Whenever I listen to a revision of a Paradigm speaker I'm already familiar with, I expect to hear an improvement, but one more evolutionary than revolutionary. With the v5 iteration of its Reference Studio 20, Paradigm has surprised me. This detailed, dynamic bookshelf model has a naturally coherent integration of the midrange and high frequencies that I found intoxicating—it may have set a new benchmark at its price for stand-mounted speakers. I enjoyed my revealing and involving listening sessions with these speakers, and was reluctant to disconnect them and start my next review. They touched me that much.

    Sound like the studio 20 has still proven to be one the best if not the best loud speakers for the money!!! I know previous versions I have listened too have left me completely speechless!!!

    The 10's sure rock with my SVS PB12 NSD sub. They are plenty for a small bedroom.
