Decware Zen with Paradigm?


Im thinking of purchasing the Decware Zen SE84. My main concern is the efficiency of my Paradigm Studio Reference 20 V.2 speakers. Is anybody using this combo, or simply let me know if this should be an ok match? I think the V.2 have a sensitivity of 89db, maybe 90, but I can't seem to find exact info. Any information appreciated.

NOT a good combo to say the least. Paradigm's want voltage and current and this amp has neither. Sean

Sean is correct. This is not a good match. The Zen can be an excellent amp with the right speakers, but the Pardigms aren't the right speaker!

For a really great combo, check out the Zen with David Dutill's Parker Audio 95 mkII. Nice speaker designed to take advantage of the Decware Zen's strengths.

Thanks for your responses, and the link to the speakers. Assuming i want to keep my speakers for now, any suggestions for other tube amps in the $1000 range? I'm presently using a Bottlehead Foreplay pre with a NAD C370 amp while my Sim Audio Moon I-5 is in the repair shop, and I've really been smitten by the tube sound with my analog front end. I am also considering a Bottlehead Paramour, but prefer not to build it and the wait time is many weeks.

Any suggestion welcomed.
