I can't imagine a Yamaha / Paradigm match-up not sounding "sharp" or "dynamic". If anything, I would think you might have too much of that sound. Forgive me if I'm mentioning the obivous, but have you checked to be sure your connections are OK? The first time I listened to these in an audio store, the sound was much like you described, and I couldn't believe that the 20's had been so well received with a sound like this. It turned out that one of the metal jumpers had slipped off one of the speakers' binding posts. You might check to be sure these are in place, assuming you're not bi-wiring. Also, are you running your Paradigm's directly off of your Yamaha, or are you using the sub's line or speaker-level crossover? Speaker level crossovers can really muck up the sound. To me it sounds like you have a pretty basic problem somewhere and not an issue of fine-tuning or room acoustics.
