I think they modifed the x-over, because the "hump" seemed to be gone to me, almost across the board with the v3s. IMO, they don't sound dramatically different other than that. (not an owner, but I auditioned 40s in my setup, and most of the others at the shop)
I bought the 100 v3s a month ago and with hump and all they sound pretty amazing, not that I hear it. These are fine speakers unless you want to go up the scale and spend some serious bucks. I did not hear the smaller ones, I went for the 100s from the start and I am very pleased with their sound. It's hard to find the perfect speaker even at $10,000 so for the $1,800 that I paid, I can't complaint. My next step is to get the paradigm 570 center channel....Thank you E-bay.
