I had Studio 100 v3 in my system for a couple months and used to sell ATC speakers. Not even on the same planet in terms of what you’re looking for. I’ve not heard Tektons, but like I said I’ve never heard another speaker with the midrange power and distortion-free dynamics of the ATC dome midrange and highly doubt Tekton can either. Read reviews of ATC SCM40, and maybe talk to the guys at Music Direct about a possible demo. Sorry to be somewhat pushy here, but I’m pretty sure ATC will deliver what you’re looking for better than pretty much any other speaker, and your amp has the juice to make them rock. Again, just my $0.02 having sold ATC and reviewed/listened to lots of other speakers.
Upgrade path from Paradigm Studio Reference V3
Looking for suggestions on speaker upgrade path. Primary listening preference is rock/pop. Enjoy moderate to high volume extended listening sessions.
VTL 2.5 Pre with Mazda Nos tubes
Bryston 4bsst2 Amp 300/ch.
2X Paradigm Studio Servo 15 subs
I don’t like forward sound due fatigue in extended listening at volume but I do appreciate a certain sparkle from the tweets. I deplore tweeters that sound blurred on cymbols hiss hiss hiss.
The speakers absolutely must have dynamic slam/impact. I want to feel it in my chest at higher volumes. Not too concerned with accuracy per se.
