I had the Minis (v.2) as mains for awhile with Titan rears. Now I have 20s (v.2) up front and moved the Minis to the rear. To me, the 20s are a better speaker all around. They have a much cleaner midrange, and the bass is much tighter. Although I feel that my Minis are brighter than the 20s. I have not done a lot of listening to the Studio v.3s, but when I was in the store I put them on just for the heck of it and the v.3s are brighter than the v.2s. The v.2s have a more natural laid back sound. The thing I love about the Minis is that they have a punch. While not truly correct, the Minis push the highs and lows a little bit giving them a bigger impact. The Studios are more transparent and let the real music come through.
Please note that Paradigm speakers need a good amount of break in. 50-100 hours at a minimum. And they keep getting better long after that.
The only way to safely double your money is to fold it over once and place it back in your pocket.
