Hi All,

I am new to your forum and this is my first post, so pardon me if i miss some information in initial post

I own a pair of latest Paradigm Studio 100 speakers (Sensitivity - Room / Anechoic - 93 dB / 90 dB) and I was wondering if some of you could comment on what can I expect by pairing these with Zen Torii Mk 3. Currently I am driving those with my MRX 500 and the sound is a bit bright, not engaging for my taste.

I also heard a demo of Harbeth Comcact 7 speakers (Sensitivity - 86dB/1W/1m) with a Tube amp and really liked the sound of those, so I was thinking of may be getting those for a separate 2 channel system with Zen Torii Mk 3.

Please provide your advice on how well or not well the torii may pair with either of these speakers. And also kindly provide some thoughts on any suggested DAC to match with these.


thanks

Thanks Lon,

I have 2 rooms available either of which i could use first being 8 X 8 ft semi-circular sitting area attached to my 30 X 20 ft master room or a 10 X 10 ft vacant room. I have few more options available.

What i was thinking of first getting the Torii 3 (which I already ordered 2 weeks ago). and testing it with my main 5.1 system with Paradigm Studio 100 and if with some tweaks etc Torii tames these nicely then use it with those for a while but if not then may be borrow a pair of Harbeth Compact 7s and make it work in a second system, as i will have much more control over placement/components etc in the 2nd system.

As you suggested I will try and ask Steve for his advice, on phone.

thanks
