Your amp is a powerhouse, and smooth to boot. So I don't think that either amount of power or type (sound) of power is an issue with either of these speakers. Pick the one that puts a smile on your face when you listen and forget about audiophile issues: follow your heart, as they used to say in the old days...
Paradigm Studio 60 vs. PSB stratus silver i
I am about to upgrade my 11-year-old PSB 500 speakers to provide (hopefully) more refined treble, better imaging and tighter bass. I am looking for opinions on two the models above. Because of the limited number of audio shops in my area, it is difficult for me to find speakers to audition. My room size is 16' x 20' and fronts of the speakers can be 30" max from back wall. I listen to jazz music primarily. The rest of my gear has been upgraded within the last year:
NAD C370 integrated amp (120W, high current)
Marantz st6000 tuner
Sony CDP-CA70ES CD changer
Van den Hul D-102 III hybrid interconects
Kimber 4pr cables
One concern I have is whether my amp will have enough power to drive these speakers. Thanks for your help.
