Yeah Kex Ty is a very nice guy and he knows how to build awesome speakers. The Taylo Reference monitors are very good indeed BUT I have yet to hear a stand mounted speaker sound better than the Linbrook Sigs with the MTM design. Maybe some day like when I win the lottery I can get me a set or two....LOL. Until then I am more than happy with my Studio v.3's. Hey, btw do you think the Paradigm Studio v.4's will be that much of an improvement????
