I am considering replacing my Paradigm Studio 20s (v1 - from around 1996 or so). Primary motivation is to move to something smaller as speakers are mounted on bookshelves by necessity - trying to free up more space and reduce "presence" of electronics in the room. Secondary (but strong) motivation is simply to purchase something shiny and new to replace aging equipment.
My dilemma - I am (and always have been) very satisfied with these speakers. Inguz DRC and a competent subwoofer are able to compensate to a significant degree for the less than ideal speaker placement. My question - what improvements am I likely to see from a well designed, constructed reviewed monitor from 2011 as compared to the same from 1996? I know the easy answer is go listen for myself, but given the importance of location and Inguz in my setup that is easier said than done. Considering the Paradigm Studio 10, PSB Imagine Mini, KEF Q100 and Dynaudio X12. The Studio 10s have the additional advantage of being front ported.
