Paradigm Studio 100 v.3 + Marantz sr5001

Hello,

I have just purchase a pair of Paradigm Studio 100 v.3 in cherry for a great price. My current amp is a Marantz sr5001 90w per channel, it also has a bi-amp. This allow me to use the front l/r and surround back l/r channels to power the highs and lows separately. Do you think this amp is sufficient to power these puppies? I have not picked the speakers so I haven't heard the final product.

Many newer 7.1 AVRs offer the bi-amp mode using the surround L&R Rear amp channels to power either the top or bottom of a bi-ampable speaker. Since many people will only use 2, 2.1 or 5.1 speaker setups in their system, the unused surround rear channels can be configured to output an identical signal to the front main L&R channels and allow you to bi-amp the main speakers. It's a nice feature and it would seem to be very easy to implement. All AVR receiver manufacturers should offer it.....

Enjoy,
