5 channel amp for Paradigm Studio 100's


Hi guys,

Trying to decide between a Parasound 855 (5x85) and a Rotel 1075 (5x120) to hook up to a pair of Paradigm Studio 100's. Price is an issue since I am also looking to upgrade my Denon AVR3300 receiver to an Anthem AVM20 pre.

I am leaning towards the Parasound since I have heard that it's a great combination with the Paradigm's. I'm just worried about the 85 watts running the 100's Evantually I will make them sing with Odyssey monoblocks but for now since I really want the AVM20, will the 855 tide me over?

Thanks

All the amps named here are good choices. I'm partial to the Paradigm/Parasound combination but would suggest the 1205A (5x140) rather than the 855. $1199 list. The big Paradigms benefit from lots o' watts.
