Paradigm studio 100s

I have a pair of these I use 4 HT. They are great 4 the price. Music is not bad either.

do vocals sound good? bass? sound stage?

Paradigm won't be quite the best speaker in terms of precision sound stage and imaging. Also, what version are we discussing here? The line improves steadily over the years.

I think most of the comments above are fairly on target. Nice speakers. I personally found them somewhat lacking in detail (Rotel 1560 driving them in a treated room) with a tiny bit of a muddled midrange. Eventually I went in another direction but I would not kick em out of bed for eating crackers as the saying goes. I did get to listen to the V4 against the V5 with everything else the same and I could not hear any difference. No comment on pre V4. I suspect that these speakers would reward more power and louder playing levels but that is just a guess.

Interesting to hear your opinion on the V.5 as compared to their predecessor. The biggest change in the series was at the v.3 introduction. The v.4 was primarily driver enhancements and the current model has changes in drivers & cabinets and probably some crossover tuning.

Stereophile had the 60's v.3 to v.5 in comparison and found improvements overall. But the new 60's are quite different then the past models. Maybe the narrow baffle and smaller as well as likely better damped cabinet help.
