Back in c.2002/3 I bought a set of Studio 100's with matching center and surrounds, and a year after that a PW2200 sub. I think I paid about $4K for the set. I love the speakers, and so-so on the sub.
I like the speakers so much that I find no reason to upgrade them, and I believe these are v.1 series. The subwoofer's amp has a nasty auto on/off and usually crackles a pop, and I think watching some Japanese DVDs had beaten the audio in hotness to over-driven the coil.
So, while I will most likely be upgrading the subversion, the speakers are still in prime condition. Would I do it again? Sure, but i may be a bit more reserved considering the US-Canadian dollar ratio is not in this Yank's favor.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
