Amp recommendation for Paradigm Studio 100 v3?

Perkadin: Agreed. I have a pair of old Paradigms (silk dome tweeters) which I modified over the years (new cross-overs, etc). These are very musical, albeit they don't image well. I'm just surprised that reviews of the Paradigms are for the most part spectacular...

Fernando: Will try some other amps. I agree that the Pass is probably not a good option.

BTW... This particular Adcom was designed by Pass himself. I contacted him many years ago and he explained to me how to increase the bias on them (you just increase it until the heat sinks reach 50C!). I also modified the PS on the amp, and it really does sound a lot sweeter than the stock amp (of which I have two more: center channel and surrounds).

Mdhoover: thanks for your response.

My system should be a source of enjoyment to me, something that makes me listen to the music. As soon as I start needing to futz around and listen to how something sounds, that's the end of the enjoyment to me.

My $500 old modified Paradigms are still much more enjoyable -to me- than the $2K Studio 100's. It's clear to me now that I have to sell them to someone who will like them more than I do.

What to get instead, I don't know yet. If you have recommendations beyond the great ones posted here, I will appreciate it. Just FYI, money is not really a constraint (not a grad student anymore! :) ).

Thanks to all.

Miguel
