Paradigm persona vs. Monitor audio Platinum

I wanted to add this to my comments,
I have 30 years experience as an audio consultant however my experience is not limited to selling HIFI audio equipment. I am an audio equipment installer and I have designed sound rooms and installed switching equipment in many sound rooms in the NYC metro area and around the nation and I want you all to know that I speak with more experience than most of you out there.
I will sum it up for you.
For great sound quality you must buy great equipment !
You need to audition many different types and brands of connections to and from your equipment, IE you can sum up the quality of the sound by the connections you chose to connect everything together and by designing a good a acoustical room with great acoustics.
So keep this in your mind before you belittle your fellow AUDIOPHILES here because they may have paid more attention then you did to the sum totals that make for a wonderful listening experience then you did or have the experience to do on your own.
These guys that are professional audio retailers probably know what they are doing and have the experience and are a lot more knowledgeable about the quality of the connections then you are because like me have listened to thousands of different types of connections then you have because this is what we do to feed our families and keep the roofs over our heads.
The button line is and I believe always will be room acoustics, equipment quality and I have discovered over many years that you can sum up the quality of the sound by the connections you made and this also includes speaker cable, interconnect cables optical links power cords and power and conditioner's are the sum total of the products sound quality. 
I would love to hear from you!
Thanks for reading my post !

Hi Ricred1
I believe we are kind of on the same page but because of the differences between the equipment owned it becomes a question of trial and error in regards to the connections and room acoustics and as I stated in my post it is definitely dependent on room acoustics and what works best in a particular room based on the acoustics of the room and the equipment. 
The back and forth has great value because this is how most people learn from one another. 
I respect your opinion and I think you should respect others opinions. 
Regards!

I would love to hear from you!

Ok: I hope didn’t push your clients in to buying needlessly expensive audiophile cables. ;-)

BTW, I very much appreciate the existence of high end audio stores and I enjoy talking to salesmen (well, some of them). I really appreciate a good high end audio dealer who doesn’t try to push his "experience" on me. Like many here, I have decades and decades of experience with audio systems and know what I’m looking for, and have usually done all the research I need.

But in terms of actual useful advice, it’s very rare for a salesman "experienced" or not, saying anything of much worth for my purposes. They tend to either tell me things I already know, or tell me nonsense.
