Lou;
I owned the Paradigm Studio Reference 100 v3 from 2003 to 2007 and they were anything but bright. I wish I still had them, but I have just so much space.
I do still have the little brother - The excellent Paradigm Studio Reference 40 v3. I have upgraded the crossovers with Jantzen caps and they sound great!
The Paradigm 100's are easy to drive and have a big (28hz @ -3db) powerful sound - No sub woofer required.
I had very good success driving them with a variety of amps ranging from the Hafler DH500 to a vintage Fisher 500c tube receiver. Hell, I even had a King Rex 2020 6 wpc chip amp hooked up to them just for shits and giggles.
If you can find a used pair of v3 100's for less than $1200 buy 'em.
