Receiver and Speakers matching (1 Viewer)

[Rob_mikh]

*** I posted this on the speaker forum, but I am also posting here since it applies to Receivers also ** TIA

I am relatively new to HT, and I'm looking for opinions from more seasoned people. My only previous experience is with a Yamaha HT in a box. I listened to them at the store and for a couple of days at home and I like the sound, though I understand the speakers need a break in period. 60%HT, 40% music

I just purchased the following 7.1 configuration and I am still within a 15 day window to make changes or returns.

The configuration is as follows:

Receiver: Yamaha RXV2400
Speakers: All Paradigm v.3
Fronts: Mini Monitor
Center: CC-370
Surround: ADP-170
Rear: ADP-170
Sub: PDR12
Room Size: approx. 260 sq ft

I got this for 20% off list and it just fit my budget. Should I consider making changes. Some of my concerns are:

Is the Yamaha and Paradigm a good match
Is the RXV2400 too much or too little receive for these speakers
What should I use as the crossover, i assume I should set it on the receiver.

Thanks in advance for all you opinions.

Nice setup the only thing I would change would be the sub.....if it is in your budget. SVS or HSU for a sub replacement...

the Yamaha and Paradigm match very well, maybe a little too bright. I auditioned the Yamaha on Paradigm speakers and loved the sound, but I just found when turned up loud (~10 db below ref level) the sound was too bright. This can obviously all be corrected with the YPAO equalization set to LOW (to give more attenuation to the lower frequencies). I find that my Yamaha matched with my JBL Studio Series is very detailed and crisp with good low-end, not as bright as with the Paradigms.
