..if only it had level adjustments. That would make it the perfect 5 channel amp. Those Paradigm Studio's really benefit from bi-amping where you can control the tweeter level. My Active 40's have a 125 watt amp for the woofers and a 50 watt amp for the tweeter, plus the level control. I need that control for the center (and maybe the surrounds, but only if I have the amp channels left over) to make them blend nicely. It makes a big difference.
I've actually got a Carver 5 channel amp sitting in my closet that has 110 watts for 3 channels and 50 watts for the other two..I might try that to see how it sounds. It's not adjustable either though. You're stuck with what you got.
