Tubes and Paradigm?

I ran Paradigm Studio 100s v3 with a Rouge Tempest for a while and in my opinion, they worked well together. I assume the 40's are similar, but the 100's have a pretty rough impedance curve (that is, some bigger dips) that makes them less friendly to tube amps.

So long as you aim for 40 or more tube watts (or so), I think you'll be fine. Good luck.

I think Bob gives great advice. I borrowed a pair of Studio 100's a few yrs ago and they were very hard to drive.

Sprink,if you're still wondering about tube amps and Paradigm speakers,I have a Rogue Audio Tempest II Magnum and Paradigm Monitor 7 speakers that I really enjoy.The Monitors are the least expensive Paradigms.I'm sure the Studios would sould as good or better.I can listen to my music for hours at a time without a hint of fatigue.Isn't that what's it's all about?

Have been using both Quicksilver Kt-88's and a ARC D-90b to drive Paradigm Studio 20's (v-2 and v-3) -both are very pleasant and very detailed combinations.
