Paradigm Monitor 5v2 - Studio 40 v3 - worth it?

Mboldda1,

I am not familiar with the sound of Denon 2000ivr, but I do have a stanby amp which is a Denon PMA-S10, picked up just last week for $250 in very good condition. The amp sounds great especially it surprised me with very tight bass.

I was able to drive a variety of speakers effortlessly, I am still in the midst of evaluating it and so far I drove four speakers with it, Kef Reference Two (4 Ohms), Rogers LS3/5a (11 Ohms), Chartwell LS3/5a (15 Ohms) and Energy XL-25 (8 Ohms. I was not able to find much info on it on the web. Is the 2000ivr in the same league as S10 I have? Can you share any info?

Thanks

the pma 2000ivr ($1200) is based on the s10 ($5200) which is based on the s1 power amp ($20,000)i think it is a monoblock that would make it $40,000.
the 2000ivr is a powerfull yet musical amp on the warm side of neutral. the weak link is it's preamp section thus the reason i use the dodd audio preamp. you can check out what danny richie ( gr research) and gary dodd ( dodd audio) had to say on this combo at audio circle under north texas audio jam, dodd audio jam session.

Mboldda1,
