Pioneer Paradigm is good match?

Hello dear American friends!

Maybe someone remembers this poor lost sheep Italian.

After so long I decided to take the Paradigm Studio 100 and I have at home a few months.

Personally I am very happy with the choice made here with us even if they cost a lot of money!
I decided to use it only for home cinema and would like to ask if it is good pairing with Pioneer LX82 receiver that I got it used from a few days. An Italian magazine has made ​​a study of 100 test and showed a load limit of just under 2.86 ohms from 90 Hz also evidence of pioneer amplifiers there is a certain difficulty of these amps to handle difficult loads below 4 ohms.
You see a good eye on the combination of these speakers with Pioneer?


Greetings all, I hope that my message is understandable

I have heard the studio 100's being powered by a Marantz receiver and they sounded quite good but you could tell that they wanted more power as the volume went up. I am not sure of the specifications on your receiver but I will say that you could run it for now and possibly upgrade to a higher powered outboard power amp later to get the most out of your speakers. I really don't think I would push the volume with these speakers on that receiver though because you will almost certainly end up with clipping distortion.

What you're noting about impedance variation is nothing unusual. Paradigm's Studio series speakers are designed with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms, but that doesn't mean that the impedance is right at 8 ohms throughout the frequency range.

Generally speaking, Paradigms are well within the capabilities of AV receivers. I have five of the Studio v.2 series speakers connected to a midrange Yamaha receiver, and I've never had issues with them, even when driven very hard.
