If your taste is 70% music then using a receiver won't do justice to you Pardigm 100. I'm using a Classe ssp25 and citation 7.1 to drive my Paradigm 100v2 and can't be happier. These speakers are power hogs.

How hard is it set up Paradigm Studio/100.
I want to upgrade my existing system and could use some advice from experienced Paradigm folks.. I have Marantz 8200 receiver and want to add studio 100's. I will be about 70% music (mostly jazz, soft rock and classical)- the rest HT. Any thoughts on whether the Marantz reciever can drive the 100's well enough? Secondly how sensitive are the 100's for placement. I have a 21x18 room so pretty big, but how far away from back and side walls do I have to place them? For you folks using the 100's.. How big is your room, and what do you drive it with? Since I can't afford to upgrade the receiver, would I be better of buying a Studio 60?
