Persona B + Rel to the next upgrade

I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the overall dynamic and details from the Persona B and to be honest I’m pretty happy with them. The only slightly disappointment is they do not disappear well as my Dynaudio / B&W and has a lack of low end bass which my rel sub made up for.

I’m curious about Magico A3 which also use a beryllium driver and seems to have very balanced top down performance. I wonder if people here think I can have a enough overall “wow” factor going from my current setup to Magico A3

Did you compare the Paradigm's just before you installed Blade's?

Steve, perfect. Nice to have an in home direct comparison.

The weekend I replaced my Paradigm Studio 100’s with used Avalon Eidolon’s, I was auditioning a dealers pair of S8’s. Not at all a cost wise fair comparison but one that allowed for a detailed system evaluation while demonstrating the unmistakable value of that extra cost.

Some years later I had a short listen to some all ARC amplified 9f’s at that same dealer. The Persona were clearly a dramatic improvement and the remaining Paradigm "inspecting" house sound was far less noticeable. All the components that failed to improve my Studio 100’s were laid bare powering the Eidolon’s. Surprisingly they performed quite pleasantly with them.

All the best
