How hard is it set up Paradigm Studio/100.

I want to upgrade my existing system and could use some advice from experienced Paradigm folks.. I have Marantz 8200 receiver and want to add studio 100's. I will be about 70% music (mostly jazz, soft rock and classical)- the rest HT. Any thoughts on whether the Marantz reciever can drive the 100's well enough? Secondly how sensitive are the 100's for placement. I have a 21x18 room so pretty big, but how far away from back and side walls do I have to place them? For you folks using the 100's.. How big is your room, and what do you drive it with? Since I can't afford to upgrade the receiver, would I be better of buying a Studio 60?

I use the Studio 100 V2 in my HT setup and they are great. As others have noted, though, they are power hogs. I doubt that the receiver you describe will show them off to best advantage.

As to room placement, mine are about 40" out into the room (drivers to back wall) and about the same distance from side walls.
