Hello Fishcall -
Thanks for your interest in my amplifiers. The DNA-1 was the first of the DNA series of amps. It went into production around '90 - '91 and was produced until 2000. The DNA-1 (at 185W per ch.) was followed by the DNA-0.5 at just over 100W per ch.
The DNA-125 (125W per ch.) and the DNA-225 (225W per ch.) have replaced the DNA-0.5 and DNA-1. The design has been improved in a variety of ways, so the new amps are superior to the original models "out of the box." Your Paradigm Studio 60 speakers are not especially difficult to drive, so any of these amps will do a very good job. If your room is "average" in size, the newer DNA-125 is probably your best choice. If you have a large room that you would like to fill with high-volume music, the higher-power amps (DNA-1 or DNA-225) would be the better option.
As Bob has pointed-out above, upgrades are available for these amps if you wish to push the performance to even higher levels, but many people are very happy with the DNA amps in their stock form.
Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
Best regards,
Steve McCormack
