Only reason to go from Studio 20 to 100 is if you want to eliminate your sub. Or for the intimidating looks of course, which is a completely valid reason if that make you happy.

During the SACD/DVD-A era I was enamored to have a perfectly balanced 5.1 set-up.
So, I put this together a couple of years ago:
Studio 20 ver 5 (five of them)
Onkyo TX NR709
SVS 25-31 PC+
PS3
Pioneer Universal CD/DVD/DVD-A/SACD player (614?)

It sounds great and has provided many hours of enjoyment. Since BD has not quite filled in the gap with Hi-rez surround sound, I find myself listening and watching concert DVD’s in whatever format I get them in.

This make me want to upgrade the front speakers to something with a little more oomf. Recently, I auditioned a pair of Studio 60’s and they sounded just like my 20’s.
I’m thinking of jumping up to the 100’s or ……. Something entirely different for 2 channel, keeping the five 20’s for surround sound.

Any thoughts?
It's a shame that all BD disc aren't created equal. I've purchased some that are outstanding, and some that I wished I could have taken back.

I'm about to have what I'm calling a Jam Session with a few friends. We will be watching several bluray concerts and having some drinks. My system concise of the following: Yamaha RX-A2010, Paradigm monitor 9's V6, ADP-390's, ADP-190's, CC-290 and a PDR-100. My PS3 as a bluray player and a Samsung ES-7100 for my display. What better way to enjoy your equipment then to share(show off)with friends. While this may not be the ultimate system, it's mine and I love it. Concerts to be determined by my friends.

got about 25% off.. on the package..

or maybe even consider a store demo 100 the guy i bought from had a pair up.. 1500 off retail and the 5 yr warranty..

but the 60s are good too..

you getting an amp? really adds to SQ..

cheers..

I will be mainly using it for HT, will there be that much of a difference between the 60's and the 100's? I am already running the Studio's with the Emotiva XPA-3 and the love the combo.

.. if just for movies and subs i think you are fine with 60s,..... but the stereo play is where the 30% extra is worth it...for the 100s.. the subs not needed in stereo play..
ive found the best sound is the pure pure direct mode on the denon to the amp.. to the speakers no sub sonic nirvana sounds biggrin.gif with the cd player.. dont know if you would hear a differenc in movies
or not never tried.. think you would be good .. and the 60s do sound very good for cd stereo play as well.. just the 100s got that little extra eh oomf

cheers..

PVR? Or the little black box? The little black box is the RF transmitter for my Logitech remote.

EDIT: Oh wait you mean on the right? It's a T-600 lifesize bust.

LOL! Yes, it operates all my equipment from inside the other room. The little receptors that are hanging are the ones that transmit the signal to my equipment.

Sig 2's and C3 will do fine in a smaller room.

If its for movies, I'd probably save the cash and go for the 60's and CC-690. I'll probably get a lot of disagreement for this, but I think a CC-690 will outperform a C3 for movies only...And that's coming from someone who has a C3 and has heard the CC-690. However if you listen to music, go for the Sig's even if it means you have to step down to the C3.
