Audiotroy,
"The reality is that the Personas are a total challenger to any of the $60k-100k uber boutique brands such as Rockport, Magico or Wilson." That's your opinion and your reality. I've heard them and just don't agree. They sound good to my ears, but seriously. As a matter of fact, one of the Paradigm dealer's that I went to prefers several speakers in the same price range over the 7Fs and 9Hs.
