Amp recommendation for Paradigm Studio 100 v3?


Currently using an older modified Adcom 535-II to drive new Paradigm Studio 100 v3. I find the sound to have a hard top end which is (almost) painful.

Wondering if a better power amp would fix this. Thinking of class-A type amp, but I read the Paradigms are not easy to drive. Would it be possible to use a Pass Aleph 3?

Thx.

I've been thru the exact same thing with the exact same speaker. Dakiom Feedback Stabilizers helped, but did not completely solve the problem. Intuitive Design Summits ended up replacing them. I've reviewed the Summits on Audiogon.

You may want to look at my Audiogon review of the Intuitive Design Summits. These speakers are utterly phenomenal beyond all possible belief. These sound better than I thought loudspeakers ever could. They're just unreal. Here's a link to my review:
