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?

The Studio 100 are great and would be perfect for your room but they need at least 200 Watts coming from a high quality amp to really sing. I am not sure that the Marantz would do the job to get the most from the 100's. If you like good bass, I am not sure either that the 60's would be enough for your room size. Just my 2 cents...
