I read a review on the RB-1080 and it said the Studio 60 V3 was a very good match, so I would imagine the Studio 100 V3 will be similar. What specific Rotel amplification are you thinking of?

I think this is the review http://www.stereophile.com/amplifica...08/index1.html

I listened to both Rotel and Anthem with the Paradigm 100 V3. They both sound very good but I like the Anthem better. The best thing you can do is find a source that has the Rotel and the Paradigm's and listen. Even better if you can audition at home. Good luck!

I have a Rotel 1056 hooked up with Studio 100's v3. They sound nice but are not at their best. But before you jump to conclusions let me point of a few things:

The reason I bought the 100's is because I loved it when I listened to them it the store (over 3 hours).
I really think they need more the 75w the 1056 has to offer (I am planning on buying a 1080 for them).
My source sucks, its a $70 Sony DVD player ops:

They are great speakers but need a bit more power.

Hello,

We have the 100's v2 and they sound great. It's a perfect match! Rotel 1068, Rt-02 & Paradigm Ref Studio 100's.

I am using Studio 40s (front), 20s (rear) & the CC470 (all are v3) with my RSX-1056 and am very happy. I will be upgrading to a RMB1075 soon and using my 1056 as a preamp only.

While the 1056 may not have the power to truly drive the Studio 100, Rotel does go with the Studio series very well. I experienced a bit of brightness during the breakin but that is now gone.

Definitely throw a the 200 w/ch or the 380 w/ch Rotel amps at those 100's. You'll really hear the difference!

Thanks. I'm getting a RB-1080 amp. I currently have 2 RB980BX amps.
