We've had three versions of Paradigm Studio 100's and it wasn't until good fortune smiled and we acquired a pair of used Avalon Eidolons that we realized just how good our system could sound at low volumes. I think your electronics are fine. I would take the suggestions here and at least demo a powered sub.
BTW we liked the version 2's hands down the best in our room.
