The V3 is far superior to the v2. It's an overall more coherent sound. The highs are more refined and the midrange more detailed. The lows are every bit as good as the v2 and driver integration much better. The v3 is a comfortable fit with better electronice than the v2.
Its a big thing going on over at Audioreview.Most Paradigm folks dont think the S2 is superior to the Studio 20 and some owners feel the V2 is better than the V3,I got a tell you im split I think the 100v2 is better than the 100v3 the new 60v3 is better than 60v2.The 40 and the 20 is a little bit of a mixed bag to me some things V3s do better and some things the V2 do better.Which brings a point a upgrade should be superior to the older models in every way and just dont see that in the Studio line and then the Signiture line costing a lot more and I dont know about that either.
