Answered my own question. Was downtown on business and popped in to a Paradigm dealer for a listen to the '60s.
Coupla things have changed in the 4-5 years since I last gave them a listen:
They're at v3 and ...
They now list for $1899 CDN. Ouch.

If anyone is interested in my detailed impressions, let me know and I'll expand.
