Scottmaurice,
I see you keep the grills on on your Studio 60's. This is a good idea, as the grill frame mates with the frames on the drivers and removing them will cause diffraction. I used to work at a Paradigm dealer, and we also had Revel, Wilson, Ariel, Avalon and Avantgarde, so I have some experience with a variety of speakers. In what direction would you like to go with your next pair of speakers? What have you heard that you like, and why? What are you priorities in reproduced sound? What kind of music do you listen to? BTW, you will soon discover how much better analog CAN be. Records can vary quite a lot, as the cutting engineer and pressing house can have a tremendous effect on the quality of the final product, regardless of how good the master is. But CD's still can't touch a good record played back on a good turntable. Have fun, and be careful of the magazines, they mostly exist to sell their advertisers products. In the last 20 years or so the integrity of the audio press has severely diminished, to the point where the term scam might apply.
Good luck, and beware of snake oil,
David
