I wrote the people at paradigm and asked if my avr was enough to drive the speakers (140 watts 2 channels playing) and they suggested that I get a separate amp to drive d the two 100"s. One with at least 200
watts rms. The reason why I am not satisfied is that the highs seem overly harsh which makes music listening difficult for any length of time. I have a fairly large room over 3000 cubic feet with openings to other rooms. My question is are the harsh highs inherent to the speaker or could it be that I'm getting some distortion because of under powering them. dI do like d to listen fairly loudly but not past 0 on the scale.
