Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2

As a previous three time Paradigm owner the Persona 9H is the best Paradigm I’ve heard and still as annoying for me to listen to.

I can’t listen to speakers with screwy time and phase characteristics regardless of their price. For the cost of your choices I’d go for Vandersteen Treo CTs $9K /pr. and his Sub 9s $19K /pr.

Spend a few days listening to the Treo’s, disregarding their bass extension, then back to your current choices and you should be able to hear the rightness of the time and phase aspect.

Been using sealed subs since the mid eighties. The rooms have always dictated their location and its never been in or next to the main speakers.

  Weren't Paradigm's speaker designs by Jerry VanderMarel and later financed and partnered by Scott Bagby who later bought out the Johnson brothers (Sonic Frontiers) or just their failing affordable Anthem tube line?

  Bagby also purchased ML from Gayle Martin Sanders and Ron Logan?

  Did VanderMarel simply leave?

  Its said that CEO Scott Bagby now retains 100% ownership of the three companies and his brother and managing director John now offer audio products at their made all in house affordable price?

  Doesn't that make it easier for a massive production company to be able to offer a much wider margin to its retailers? 

So who are this "experienced" companies current "qualified" engineers that continue to develop all these historical brands?

  What do I know I'm a customer, just asking?
