Suggestion for upgrade from Luxman L3 to a more powerful integrated amp

[rahul_maddy]

I am currently driving my Paradigm Studio 40 v3 from Luxman L3, and it seems that I could do better with these speakers if I upgrade my amp.
My budget is limited (upto 30-40k).
DAC I use is Topping L30 and usually listen to music from Tidal / Spotify lossless.
Need advice and recommendations.

try a marantz 6007 or if you can spend up to 75k the marantz studio 70 (new)

Why do you feel that? What is missing?

check out the classifieds - there are some nice pieces in there. In your budget avoid new.

those Paradigm Studio's sound nice, get a good amp.

I have to run it with its loudness switch on, it adds little spike (not crazy levels just a tiny bit) in highs and lows and also vocals becomes little better, which to my ears should be the normal level, without that it feels little bland. Its absolutely fine most of the times, but I feel by giving more power to these speakers could solve my problem. Checking classified

Rega I think being 30W, will still long for extra power for that slam in drums and airy percussion.

Yes, that's what I am scouting for. Thinking of trying a power amp with pre mode from DAC.
