Paradigm Reference Studio 100v2. anybody listening?

I see some folks have read my post. Unfortunately no responses yet. I'm hoping someone out there can shed some light. How about if I approach it this way....
Is it possible that the speaker sensitivity is too high for the amp? They are rated at 8 ohms. Are they not presenting enough load?
 
Is the preamp not a good match for the amp? I have no experience matching them. Its always been pioneer receivers up until now. 

Are the speaker cables too light? I believe they are 12 awg overall but they are split into interal biwire. Does that lower the awg?

The amp doubles and triples its wattage from 8/4/2 ohms, 125, 250,500 watts. Is my wall outlet the problem? Do I need a power conditioner?

I know the CD player has some miles but I also have an Oppo dvd player that is newer. The Rotel, ($1200.00 When new) still outperforms it.

Can anyone answer help these questions.
Thanks again! 

your room could be a major factor

Yes, I also question the room. Have you had other speakers in this room and or with this equipment that performed well?

Thanks for the replies. It's been bookshelf speakers and receivers up until now. It has to be the room. Going to move some furniture and reposition the speakers. I used the Stereophile test cd and I have a lot of work to do. I repeated the bass warble and while moving around the house to various areas, the bass response was better than in the room? Any ideas?
