Paradigm is the parent company of Paradigm. They are a sonic match.
I own a Anthem I225 Integrated amp. I love it. It's a beast and will drive any speaker I throw at it. Huge power supply. Nichicon caps. The amp your considering has even greater power. Bass, power and control. Never gets warm. I bought mine
from Chris of Parts Connexion (in Canada) through Audiogon and never looked back. 1 year warranty. However Alamo Electronics carries them locally in my area. (Cincinnati).
It likes beefy speaker copper cable. 12 AWG or bigger. Straightwire Octave II sounds pretty good. And Double Shotguns of AQ Gibraltar.
I have a Ayre cx-7emp CD player, Ayre kx-5emp, Mark Levinson no 334 combo.
I slide the Anthem in for fun every now and again. While the Levinson is much more transparent and natural sounding, especially with the Ayre preamp, the Anthem is a sledge hammer! Very fun amp. Very good equipment. Top notch for A/V. 1000 watt monoblocks! Good luck, I like there stuff.
