I owned a pair of Studio 100v2 and I think they offer the best bang for you bucks, especially if your gears are not very expensive as they are not that revealing I gave my them to my parents and they're happy being driven by a simple HK receiver. That said, I am a big fan of B&W having gone through 602, 805N, 804N and finally 801N and I do think they are amazing when driven by quality amps. If you listen to a lot of vocal, trumpet instrumental and jaz, I'd pick the 803N over the paradigm any day.
