What integrated to go with Paradigm studio/60's???

Hi guys, I'm new to the audio game and am kind of disappointed with my current system. The sound is all there but without the realism they had at auditioning. Vocals tend to be hidden or mushed into the intstruments making them sound unclear. Also, whenever my system tries to really rock out with complex peices it sounds confused and lacks any coherent clarity. My system is:

NAD T531 DVD player
Music Hall MMF 2.1 w/Grado Gold cartridge
Rotel RQ 970BX phono preamp
NAD T752 reciever
Paradigm Studio 60's

My sound isn't what I heard from my speakers when I auditioned them leading me to believe there's a mismatch upstream. I think I'd like to switch my receiver for an integrated amp around $1000. Does anyone with these speakers or similar ones have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Keith

How about adding a good 2-channel amp to the pre-outs on your receiver? i added a B&K stereo amp to the pre-outs on my Denon receiver and the difference in sound was pretty much night & day. i have the Studio 80's and they REALLY opened up after adding the B&K (ST2140). Plus I still have surround capabilities.

good luck!
