Audio Refinement Complete owners: please advise

I have recently acquired an Audio Refinement Complete and would appreciate hearing what speakers other ARC owners are driving with this amp. My room is fairly large: 17x28 w/ 15 foot ceilings. I listen to acoustic "mainstream"
Jazz, blues, 60's/70's rock, singer songwriters (Hiatt, Thompson,Prine, etc), folk and some Country. I like some volume but nothing close to ear-bleed levels. Can this amp drive large floor-standers such as Paradigm Ref. Studio 100V2, or can it only handle monitors????? Thanks!

The only speaker the Complete doesn't like is an inefficient one that dips into the 2-3 ohm range. I drove
my Alon Model I quite nicely as well as the Vienna Acoustics Haydn monitor. According to Paradigm for the
Studio 100 V3, it's 91dB sensitive and 8 ohm. They say as
little as 15w will drive it. Assuming the same specs are
true of the V2, the Complete should have no trouble driving
it.
