Paradigm Studio 20 v.5 Bookshelf speakersAccording to the developers, the updated line of Studio ahs changed not only externally (rounded forms of the body appeared), has been undergone a number of structural modifications. As before, Paradigm Studio 20 v.5 are equipped with own-development drivers. Here are the woofer made of S-PAL composite with decent 7 inches in the diameter and a standard 1-inch titanium tweeter. The bands are divided at the frequency of 2000 Hz by the second ordered crossover. The construction of Studio 20 v.5 is largely borrowed from the loudspeakers of top Signature series - the bodies are so massive that there is the impression of their absolute inertness. Very high quality of workmanship and natural veneer finish are worth of special mention. By the manner of playback these speaker systems can be referred to a system of monitor type. This definition is not an accidental. By overall sound resolution Paradigm Studio 20 v.5 are, probably, the best among the competitors. Micro dynamical pattern is elaborated till to the smallest details and, perhaps, is limited only by the capabilities of the control system. Bass has correct "forms" and differs by high speed. Small problems may arise only near the lower border - the clarity of sound there is not so bright yet. Claims to midrange are minimal. Voices of the performers are extremely pure and natural, but need a little bit more timbral variety. Space is built very impressively - stage is truly huge and ordered. It is especially valuable that this effect is felt in quite wide listening area. |
