Paradigm Persona 3f Tower


I hear lots of talk about these speaker series and listening sessions.

Does anybody have them at home for an extended time period?

I've listened with Mac amps & they sounded smooth, detailed , airy & delicate.   Wonderful

Then I listened at Axpona with anthem amps & they sounded bright, edgy. Etc

so, The question how do they sound at home & what “ stuff” do you have driving them

What you likely heard at Axpona was a combination of a bad room (the sound in almost every room was pretty bad), and more importantly, they were using ARC (Anthem Room Correction) all the way up to 5000hz.  That simply leans any speaker out way too much unless you know how to limit the frequency range that the room correction effects (ideally have it stop at 300hz max) and also bump up the default room gain anthem sets.  

I’ve heard the 3F sound great with the STR preamp and amp, but they will definitely sound even better with different gear, if you have the budget.
