Thanks so much, folks.
@Czarivey - why do you think that both of these speakers need more power? Is it because you think that is when they really start to sing? What would be the consequences of underpowering them? The Paradigm is specced out as being suitable for amps from 15W to 220W and is very sensitive on top of that.
@Avhifidelity - you are right. I was mistaken. I thought the F208s were in my price range - but I realized they weren't. If anything I might ask to audition the F206.
@Mesch - I do plan to take my amp to the store. However, I was wondering if I would be a rude customer for insisting they hook it up to speakers that they recommend against for good reason. However, if there is good reason, I would like to give it a shot.
