Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

are you referring to Paradigm Reference Studio 20?

If so.....I own a pair, v2 model. Great little speakers.

These are not high efficiency speakers and may not be suitable for low power tubes, such as SET. You don't mention what "low powered" is.

I'm using them with a 35 watt per channel NAD C740 solid state receiver, but I don't think they'll be happy with less power than that.

Sensitivity is rated at 89 dB for "room", but according to website spec they are only 86 dB anechoic, which I think is the sensitivity number you should use.

There was an article recently in Stereophile where a 25 watt per channel new model Quicksilver low-gain amp was evaluated using the Studio 20's. The reviewer said the Studio 20 speakers were OK, but didn't go so far as to say they were a great combo.

You must try before you buy!
