I've got studio 20's v5. I had a denon dvd 2900 and sold it for$75, put $75 with it and boughta musical fidelity a3.2 cd player. It gave me what you are looking for in terms of sound. I'd upgrade the cd player. I think you need to be a little careful with the components you pair up with these speakers, otherwise theycan sound bright and a little harsh.
Speaker wire suggestion w/ Paradigm Studio 100 v3
I am current using a Denon DVD2200 with outlaw pre-amp and amp (200wpc) with outlaw interconnects with my paradigm studio 100's v3. I am currently using analysis plus oval 12 Bi-wire and am looking to upgrade to get more refined, detailed, open, sweet highs without adding any harshness or brightness to my system. Any recommendations? I've briefly looked into nordost, tara labs, audioquest, and transparent cables. I would like my speakers to perform optimally. Any suggestions? Most audio stores around me will not allow me to test them at home.
