B_limo. It just so happens that I auditioned both Studio 20s and 60s about a year ago when I bought my first pair of hi-fi speakers. I remember enough to say that I didn't feel like one speaker was significantly better than the other: each had its own tradeoffs compared to the other. Couldn't you just go in and listen to each? That would surely answer the question for you. And, if you plan to use the $650 for speaker stands (among other things), perhaps you should just put the $650 toward the Studio 60, anyway. It partly depends on what else you have or don't have in your system, I suppose.
Paradigm studio 20 vs 60? Help please
So, Im currently somewhat locked into paradigm because of my trade up issues at my local audio store, but that's okay because I do like the sound I'm getting out of the v.5 studio series. My initial plan was to upgrade until I got to studio 60's, and then call it good for awhile, and now that I have the chance to do so (for $650), I'm starting to question if I actually want to go through with it. My concern is that I really like my studio 20's and wonder if stepping down from a 6.5 inch driver to a 5.5 inch driver with two extra 5.5 inch "midbass drivers" (crossed over at 500 hz) is going to add much to my listening experience. I've always liked monitor sized speakers, and now that I'm researching it I'm finding out that more drivers isn't always better because of conflicting dispersion from numerous drivers, more reflection off walls, etc. I'm new to this hobby, and know there are some really knowledable folks here to help steer me in the right direction, so thank you to all who respond, and please, this is only between the studio 20 and studio 60, both v.5. I know there are probably better speakers in this same price range but I'm currently somewhat locked into these speakers. Thanks again!
