|   under $1000 amplifier any recommedations? | profrancis
Aug 21, 2002 4:19 PM | | I am using 2 parasound HCA1000A as monoblocks on my paradigm studio 100, and a nakamichi AV10 receiver for preamp. I am thinking of upgrading my amp. Any suggestions? |

That amp puts out 400 watts continuous in mono at less than .03% THD. For around $1000 I think you already have the best possible setup. If you were going to upgrade anything I'd get new speakers. Not that the Paradigms are that bad. |

The Studio100 reaches its excursion limits at about 150watts at 50hz IIRC, so using larger amps could potentially just bottom out the woofers.
Velodyne HGS, sunfire or Servo-15 should match up nicely. |
