PARADIGM owners - what amp and pre do you use


Just wondering what amp and pre do you use with your Paradigms and why.

Kindly name your speakers too.

Just a friendly FYI.

Mike, in the past I've used Yamaha RX-V495 and Denon 1801 recievers. Then I had a Rotel RMB-1066 amp paired with my Denon when I first began my move to seperates. Currently I use a Rotel RMB-1095 which I picked up for $1550CDN with 9yr warranty and Marantz AV560U combo to power my mini monitors/cc350. Sound is awesome.

I use a Bryston 9B THX with my Monitor 11's and CC370. I have a Lexicon MC-1 pre/pro and kept hearing about how good the bryston's were. I was able to pick it up for $1750 used and could not turn it down. Great neutral amp low noise for and very expansive image.

All sounded sweet, in that order.....

Reference Studio 40, CC and ADP all v2. Powered by Acurus A125x5 amp and controlled by Outlaw 950. Got the Acurus on sale and Outlaw 950 when it first came out. Love my setup. Very clean and crisp sounding but not too fatiging. Switch the amp w/ B&K once and found the sound much "fuzzier" then w/ the Acurus.

When I had the Studio 100s, they were hooked up to a Parasound HCA-1200 amp and PHP 850 preamp. The sound was very good for the money.

ha, wow, does anyone at these forums use any power that's a little more down-to-earth on the Paradigm's? Say, Yamaha-ish. LoL. I've got an RX-V640 and am planning on going with Monitor 5's or 7's as far as my front speakers.
