I've owned Studio versions one and wood sided two's. I was driving them with a big Ayre V-1xe by-wired. They were 5.5 feet out from the front wall, 6 feet apart, 1/2 inch of toe in, and spiked.
I now own a pair of used Avalon Eidolons which are hugely more expensive but their presentation shows just how glaringly poor the Paradigm design is.
In the Paradigm price range the PSB Synchrony are greatly more musical, flatter, and have a far less fatiguing upper end.

For what they are the Paradigm's bass may be their strong point. If all else fails I'd think about a subwoofer.
