What changes would make 60v2's sign

A nice integrated would really make a difference. Anthem products seem to do well with paradigm in my experience. The INT 2 is available usually for around 600-700 dollars. Depending on how much you want to spend, you could look at things like a levinson 383 or a Rowland Concentra II. I'm sure both of those would do the paradigms justice. Also, the cd player could be updated. I would think that even spending 500-600 on a cd player would make a huge difference. In that area you could look at the Rega Planet 2000, Music Hall CD 25, or maybe the Linn Mimik. Any of these upgrades should open up the paradigms. They are very detailed, so whatever you throw at them is what you're gonna hear. You have a great speaker, but it will sound even better with the correct equipment and cable choices.

take a look at the denon pma 2000ivr integrated amp for $1200. there is a guy selling the version 3 2000r on ebay for a little over $500. also go to usedcables.com to look for some tara labs quantum 2 with tfa return speaker cables.
for interconnects check out on ebay the guy for cableplex starting his cable bids at 0.99 cents.maybe the rotel 541i cd player or the entry level arcam. also on interconnects look at www.homegrownaudio.com

sorry it is the nad 541I

Try an integrated like the Musical Fidelity A3. About $850 at Upscale Audio. Best cd player for the money is Cambridge Audio 500 SE. For interconnects try harmonic tech; speaker cables try analysis plus.
