Im getting the upgrade bug and im looking for new speakers. Im a paradigm fan and thus I'm considering the studio series. At this time I have this setup.
Denon 3801 105 watts per channel
Arcam cd62 cd player
Paradigm moniter 90p mains powered towers three 8" woofers 175watts
two pw2200 subs 12" 250 watts
toshiba dvd player
ADP 370 surrounds
CC370 center

I find that in my present room that the bass can become muddy and imaging struggles to stay in one position. Actually ive tried this setup in three different rooms and each time the same results. Might be the denon I don't know. However it doesn't matter because I want new speakers any way(going to put one system upstairs). Heres what I want . Improved imaging, although my current system can image somewhat it not always accurate vocals shift as does kick drum and such. Bigger soundstage, moniter series can go outside the speakers but not very much or well. Better more robust bass, this setup becomes very sloppy in kick drum and there seems to be NO weight what so ever,: (however this system does go floor rattling low) . I like the drums and thus really enjoy the weight of the kick drum, the crisp snap of the snare drum and the highs of the cymbols and high hat thus my new speakers must be excellent at reproducing these sounds. As well my new speakers are going to have to be dynamic. This bring me to my question, which is are the studio series speakers more adept to reproduce what I just ask for or Im I kidding my self? Will the denon have enough power to run the studio 100's or 60's? Is there much difference in the studio version 2 to version 3. Should I look at a better sub to reproduce the kick drum I want that chest thumping experience when listening to rock? Or should I look to another make of speakers for what I want. I know a lot of you are going to say setup is my problem but trust me Ive had my system for almost two years and i've moved my speakers into every position I could and each way has failed me. Maybe my denon is to blame maybe I will replace it to. Any comments whould be much apprecited thank you.
