<font color='#000000'>Hello-

Was wondering what receiver goes well with parardigm studio 20 speakers. &nbsp; I am leaning towards a Denon 2803. &nbsp;This site gave a good review for the Sony 5ES receiver. &nbsp; Wondering how this receiver sounds with paradigm speakers. &nbsp;Any thoughts/recommendations would be appreciated. &nbsp;Thanks</font>

<font color='#000000'>Many years ago I had some Paradigm Monitor 7s and a Denon 3300 receiver , later on I purchased some B&amp;K seperates (2 channel) then finally a Sony STR-DA555ES (not to be confused with the 5ES)

The Sony ES sounded the best to my ears...overall the Paradigms did not do it for me though so I upgraded to some other speakers.</font>

<font color='#000000'>&quot;Which receiver to buy&quot;  Any receiver that meets your power requirements will go well with your speakers.  There is no such thing as an amplifier that sounds better with certain speakers.  An amplifier is an amplifier, and to the best of my knowledge, all of todays receivers will amplify your signal with virtually no distortion.</font>
