I would not go all tubes for this speaker, given the impedance curve. I'd go hybrid, and would consider Rogue, Vincent in your price range.
Recommendation for integrated amplifier for Paradigm Studio 20s v.5
Hi All,
My last kid moved out so I'm an empty nester with an extra 10'x16' room that is becoming my office/recording studio. I would also like to set up a nice music listening area. I like 70s progressive rock, 60s jazz, and classical.
I have a pair of Paradigm Studio 20s (version 5), but nothing else. I heard them thought a Rotel 1520 many years ago and liked the sound. I recently went to a local audio dealer and tried a Marantz Model 30 and a Moon. I preferred the detail of the Moon. However, both were above my budget, which would be $1,000-$2,000 max. I think I need to go used, but would like some recommendations. Thanks!!
