Paradigm Personas anyone heard them


No reviews on these yet that I can find. Curious if anyone has heard them and what were your impressions. Also any comparisons to the outgoing signature series?
thanks

The 5F's are very good IMO ...but the 9H's are just stunning. when calibrated to the room, they produce so much low end information without any boom or drone.  I auditioned with my own amp (ZOTL40 @ 35w) and the synergy was spectacular.  The active woofer is a winner.  I listened for three hours ...there is so much richness and effortless fullness to the sound when the lows are present and controlled. 
And the dealer margins must be good because I was quoted a great deal - which I am now seriously considering.  Compared to other high end speakers they are are steal and probably end-game for me.

i live in Canada - about 20 miles from the Paradigm factory.  i;ve waited for years to have a true high end loudspeaker company in my backyard.  Ive not heard everything - but gosh these 9H's have to be close to the TOTL Magico's ...for less than half price. 
FYI - when I was at my dealer, they corrected the speakers for the room (the speaker comes with microphone + software to program the onboard DSP). Using five separate measurements per speaker, the correction is almost 10 db of swing correction to address peaks at 40,80hz and trough at 60hz.   Look at this damn flat response!  I believe it when then say they are flat from 20hz to 20khz!

Regarding the deal ...I think most of if comes from accommodation for the CDN$/.USD$ exchange rate.  If Mr. Trump continues his shenanigans, i wont be able to afford anything from the USA.
