Amplifier Upgrade.

Sorry guys for not specifying the reasons for the upgrade!! Yeah the main reason i want a change is because, 1) I find that when i listen to stuff like Phil Collins or The Eagles, at the 9o clock position the clarity and detail is not very good, what i mean is that i cannot get the full depth of the music, the contrasts and distinguishing of all instruments is lacking.. 2) The brightness is not an issue per say, but the depth is, again what i mean is that, the overall sound representation like the trebles, and bass is not very tight... And lastly the power is a bit of an issue, since these speakers can handle something more than the Rotel... The 60w on this doesn't seem like 60w, for example the 20w NAD 3020 seemed like 60w in regard to this... I remember my uncles Audiolab 8000A with Mission 753 they would really rock in a sense that all the detail and musicality was present...

Tony out of curiosity what does the rest of your system consist of including cables. Rotel int. amps in my experience have had pretty good power supplies and drive most speakers well. Which version of Studio 20's do you own and what are there positions in a room. Speakers further out from the rear wall can open up and have more depth. A cable of too high a guage can create resistance and not allow the amp to drive the speakers. You may be able to change some things and be happy with what you have. Rotel and Paradigm are both quality components.
