| Paradigm Persona series (this is part of a larger post from another thread, but relevant to Paradigm 3F)I found the resolution and soundstage of the Paradigms to be extraordinary. You can hear the wood of the solo viola, and the movement of cymbals when struck, the voi... | |
| Where to hear ATC speakers (I posted this same comment in an older, Paradigm-related thread)I want to thank Dave from Audio Doctor ("Audiotroy") for letting me listen to KEFs (3R) and Paradigms (Persona 3f) last night, mostly with the Naim Uniti Nova DAC/amp. There are... | |

| Where to hear ATC speakers I'm in touch with a NYC shop called anologique that seems to have been around for a while. A few nightmare reviews on Yelp, but some good ones too. Open to suggestions. I'm getting an estimate to move my speakers down there next week #NYCapartm... | |
