I've got a pair of Paradigm Studio 60's coming soon and am wondering if I need to get a new amp. I currently have a nice old Onkyo TX-8410 receiver, rated at 100 watts per channel min RMS at 8 ohms, but I'm afraid the new speakers will require an upgrade. The room is about 12 x 16 and the music will be anything from soft acoustic to loud rock. A phono stage is required.
My questions are:
How urgent is the upgrade?
Which of the following might be acceptable:
Music Hall Audio a50.2
Emotiva USP-1 / UPA-2
Onkyo A9555
or something else?
Thanks in advance for any info.

There is a healthy continent here who believe in selecting a receiver to power a stereo system, if only for better bass mgmt. You could also have access to auto EQ algorithms, and it could prove to be future proofing for more channels.

I found Granteed's recommendation for a Marantz, but I can't find a different one that is yet cheaper, that I think he was talking about. Not sure which, if any, have phono.

At your budget, I do like the Outlaw RR2150.
