how efficient are paradigm mini monitors?

Sensitivity is often measured by driving a speaker with one watt and measuring the loudness in decibels at one meter.

The Paradigm monitors I am familiar with are moderately efficient with an 8 ohm rating. The JD303 will be plenty of power.

From The Absolute Sound:

A Lot for a Little
I don’t expect everyone who is looking for small monitor speakers to buy a pair of Mini Monitors regardless of how bad the economy gets. But even folks with unlimited funds may find much about the Minis that will encourage them to pick up a pair, or two, or three. The bottom line, which appeals to everyone, is that the Minis offer a surprisingly high level of sonic quality for a ridiculously low price. Sure, they aren’t elegant looking and taking off their grilles results in an even less décor-friendly appearance, but if you close your eyes they look mighty fine, indeed.

If you want to play audiophile Santa Claus, buy a couple of pairs and give them to some deserving young music-lovers. Although trickle-down didn’t work for the economy as a whole, when applied to the development of future audiophiles it might be just the ticket to a brighter future.

Is this the right paradigm? An older 'rev', I think.

No. Mini monitors.
