Hi Meech. What is your room like? It could be a case of bare walls or speaker placement. In case you already have addressed the above issues, it could be that your ears are still used to your previous speakers sound. Although I do believe in breakin to a degree, I do believe that your ears getting used to a different sounding speaker is part of the break in process.
As far as how much power you may need to push them goes, your Paradigms are not as inefficent as some may lead you to believe. They are 4 ohm speakers but they are still pretty easy to push to high levels. The culprit I would bet is your room or your source material.
