Paradigm Reference v.1 versus v.2?


I am getting a pair of Studio 60's v.2. Does anyone know the differences between the newer versions and the older ones? Is there an improvement in sound?

Less cabinet resonance.
Improved midrange.
Smoother transition across drivers.
50% more backaches--V2 is a LOT heavier.
The difference is about 10kg (I think) and is due to internal crossbracing, not to shielding. My Sony can testify that they are NOT shielded.

David, I'm intrigued. What do your and other ears hear? If you find the V1 sonically superior to the V2 you will be the first person I've heard from who hold that opinion.
