I think the Rega's are going to be a bit laid-back,(Depending on what music you listen to.) The Paradigms are going to give you a bit more bottom end.I would not use speakers that are 20 years old in my main system. They may sound pretty good,I think you will find any decent modern speaker will be a step up.
Rega R3 or Paradigm Studio 20 V.3 with Rega Brio 3
I currently have a Rega Brio 3 integrated amp and I love it. It is paired with a Rotel 940-AX tuner and vintage Mordaunt-Short Festival Series 2 speakers. I bought the Mordaunt-Short speakers because they are all I could afford to keep the system under $1000, but I am not sure if they are limiting my system. The dealership I bought the system from deals in new and used audiophile components and they swear that the Mordaunt-Shorts blow anything else away they know of selling for under $800-900. The speakers do sound great, but they were made in the early '80's. I am considering buying either nOrh 5.1's, the new B&W 600-series bookshelves, or most likely, either the REGA R3's (synergy) or the Paradigm Studio 20 V.3. Does anyone have any input on
this? I appreciate it.
