I am curious why no one asked WHAT Paradigm Reference speakers PhillipC was using. Offering advice for an amplifier when not knowing if the guy is using Studio 20's or Studio 100's seems a little short-sighted.You are correct and a great point!!!
From a personal perspective suggesting the Sherbourn, ANY of the Reference Series would blend well with this amp as I've driven 20's, 40's and 100's with the amplifier and had great success. However, you nailed it with your comment.

No, because all the Studio line have around the same efficiency and impedence curves. They all share the same tweeter, so will have similar "brightness" qualities. Maybe, since I think almost everyone expected he was talking about main speakers. And finally, yes, because most of these amps discussed are likely overkill for ADP's, which muddy the sound so badly that a quality amp is a waste of money! Just IMHO...
