It ain't a question of fault. There is a contribution from the room, the speaker and the prepro and one wants the result to be right. I lived with Paradigm Studio 60s for a decade but, eventually, became sensitized to a somewhat withdrawn upper midrange with a tipped-up high treble. This was with a passing parade of prepros.The Monitor Silvers seemed more flat (see those measurements, too) with the Marantz and they do so with an Arcam I have in house now. You might prefer the Emotiva with the Paradigms.

I'd really rather go with anything but Emotiva, budget be damned. But if the pre-pro doesn't have 5.1 analog inputs I need it to process pure DSD from the Oppo, and then do a better job with the sound than the Oppo does. So far I'm completely stuck except for older and high-priced components that don't do the latest codecs like Atmos and DTS:X and the stuff my new 4k oled will want like hdmi 2.0 and hdcp 2.2.
But Jim deserves it just a bit as I haven't seen much of him here since 'Outside' closed down.
