Paradigm Reference Studio 60 Tower Speaker

 

Kudos to Paradigm for bucking the trend to move production “off-shore,” or buy drivers from outside suppliers—the company still designs and builds the complete speaker, including the drive units, crossover networks, plastics, and cabinets in Canada.

The Studio 60 v.4 zeroes in on the music with great accuracy. Still, I would have appreciated a smoother treble and more visceral jolts from a speaker this size. Even so, on a purely musical level, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Studio 60.

Paradigm Reference Studio 60 v2

 

I had a pair B&W DM640i and love them but they sound to bright for me, and I had previously owned a pair of Studio 20 v2. I sold the B&W DM640i Found a pair of used but in perfect condition STUDIO 60 v2 (black ash finish) Now I can honestly say that...

Sound Quality (Low to High) ; Soundstage ; Clarity ; Balance ; Well Built ; Easy to Set-up

Cabinet look a bit " low budget " (V2 version)

Paradigm Reference Studio 60 v.4

 

These speakers blow me away. I am running them as a two channel setup with a sub. They are very clear, have great imaging and create a wall of sound. I am constantly thinking there are speakers behind me and it sounds like there is a center channel. I...

Sound quality, wall of sound, imaging, finish and connectors ; They even sound full at low volumes ; A quality Canadian product

None. Some argue they are a home theater speaker but I am completely satisfied and find them to be extremely musical

Paradigm Reference Studio 60 v3

 

I have had these speakers in a sytem consisting of a Musical Fidelity A300, Meridian 506.24 and/or Sony Dvps9000es and a Carver tuner and I have been delighted with them. Very qick, clean bass , good mid range and clear, detailed treble. They are...

Very even handed and detailed

Need a little juice to sound their best

Paradigm Reference Studio 60

 

60 V.3's. Beautiful, svelte little things. Made to be clothed in black. Two lovely ladies in little black dresses. You can almost smell the perfume. I listened for decades before settling on these. Been in studios and small venues with real violins...

Transparency, imaging. Outstanding bang for the buck

Perhaps could use a bit more bass extension. But, then again, why

Paradigm Reference Studio 60 v3

 

Excellent coherence, transparency and soundstaging - sounds like one driver playing, not three. Very realistic on vocals and jazz. Amazing midrange for a full range 2 1/2 way design - no coloration that I can detect. If you like full range performance...

Natural yet transparent sound. Great soundstage

Plastic chicken-thigh outriggers

Paradigm Reference Studio 60 v3

 

I have purchased these about three months ago and I love them ! I remember the first time i have heard them. I have requested the dealer to play the remastered copy of nine inch nails track (12-reptile). I was amazed with the detail these have produced...

Unbeliveble soundstage ; Highs are amazing ; Midrange is amazing ; Cool design ( can remove the side feet and have spikes , Or keep them with spikes, can remove the front plate on bottom )

Just a little bit of bass is missing. About 5% but this might be fixed with better cables probably bi-wire ( i have singe wire )

Paradigm Reference Studio 60

 

I've had the Studio 60's for a few years now to the point where I'm starting to get bored. However, I still haven't met anyone who owns speakers even remotely close to these. From the standpoint of home theater or studio recording work , the Studio...

Extremely accurate, powerful tweeters. I wouldn't stand any closer than 20' to these screamers if I had the choice ; Wonderfully detailed midrange. Makes everything you play sound like silk ; Punchy and detailed bass response, reaching all the way into...

Let's face it, the Studio 60's have fullrange bass but there isn't a lot of it. These speakers pull out all the stops to get subwoofer performance from measly 6" drivers and ultimately, for dance/rap you're going to want more bass ; Because of this,...

After three years with this speaker, i have yet to add a piece to my system whose performance is being hindered by their abilities. In fact, it is the transparency and truthfulness of these speakers that allow me to resolve the minute differences in...

musical truth. transparency, detail, midrange honesty. a sweetheart of a tweeter

bass is a shade soft. could use a bit more control. wish i'd bought the veneers
