Any Thoughts on the Vincent Audio SP-996 Power Amps?
I Now have a denon 3805 driving my Paradigm Studio 40's V.3
And I am looking for more power to drive the lows .
My main complaint on my 40's is at low listning levels there is not enough eungh = Lows .
Thanks ~
I also am out of space for a conventional amp

The Denon website shows your receiver having tone controls and the Paradigm website has your speakers starting to roll-off the bass as early as 62Hz. I would suggest you use your tone controls to boost the bass a little
when you are listening a lower volumes. A bigger, badder power amp won't help you that much and it will put a hole in your wallet.

Do you have a sub? The nice thing about a sub with a HT rec is that you can easily run the volume up at lower levels and turn it off if not needed at higher levels.

I do have a Paradigm PDR8 sub.
I have played with a bunch of setting like changing the speaker settings from Large to small & play with the crossover setting from 80 to 200
