Hi everyone...
In an effort to save space and break my 2-channel and HT systems apart, I am selling off my Paradigm Reference v2 system mainly becuase my Studio 100's are too big to move around and I anticipate moving in the not too distant future... I may replace my v2 system with a 7.1 v3 system using less demanding Studio 40 and get a sub finally! Since my newer 7.1 system will consist of less demanding loads, I can probably get by with an amp with 125 WPC I would assume... Some that come to mind are the Anthem PVA-7, the B&K AV125.7 and the Sherbourn (the powerhouse of the three and more money too)... I currently have an Anthem MCA-3 and think it is great, as such I lean toward the PVA-7 as it SHOULD have the same sonic signature which seems to work well with Paradigms. It also has the least amount of power. Should this worry me at all? A powered sub should ease most of the strain off the Paradigm Speakers, right? The B&K is supposed to be a warm amp, and this would also go well with Paradigm. What do you think?
Thanks,
-Bob
