Just a quick question: I purchased an Onkyo TXSR 701 receiver. Then I went and bought the paradigm's studio 80 for fronts and studio cc for center channel. Other equipment being used is an energy 10' sub and polk RTi4 for surrounds and a Polk Csi3 for the rear speaker. Even though I read plenty of comments saying that the Onkyo was not enough to drive the paradigm's, its too late to return it and indeed the Onkyo struggles with this assignment.
So my question is: a) sould I get an amp or pre amp, and if so what kind, I am lost. or b) definitely get another receiver, and if so what do you recommend in that price range: 800 to 1, 000 dollars. I should also note that although I enjoy playing movies, I am still hooked to audio, playing mostly cds with an arcam player and vinlys with a rega 3.
Many thanks for the time and all the best.
