Looking to upgrade from my Goldenears
Bigjohn the slam you are looking for has a lot to do with your setup.The Golden Ears tend to be a bit on the warm side in the treble, so are the Parasound components.So the lack of slam may because of a number of factors including the combination ... 
Paradigm Persona series
The rear bass drivers based on their design are vibration cancelling by working in concert with the front drivers.The purpose of them is to provide additonal bass output and to vent the rear bass wave around the rear of the speakers to better allo... 
Bricasti M1 vs DCS Debussy
4425 yes the Bartok does look awesome, in that same price range we have the Lumin X1 which also sounds awesome and the Lumin is one terrific sounding piece with a great feature set and series of strengths.Had  a ton of experience with DCS in the p... 
Paradigm Persona series
steve59 we have a $7,500.00 integrated amp which includes a dac which drives the 9H to perfection. It is a tube amp.This amplifier is one of the best we have found for an affordable solution to making the Personas have that bit of warmth that will...

Gee Dense Tomic nice of you to say, by the way  read all the Kef white papers you should read the one on the Kef Blade and Kef reference lines.As per what I was doing in 1978, I was working at an audio store under the table at age 13 by the way, s...

Yes Mr. M. your Vandy Treo's do compete with Persona 3F, they would not compete with the Persona 9H,  the Vandy 5A and the 7 would, if you prefer a more holographic soundstage, deeper bass, and overall much greater clarity the Personas 3F will out...

Trudat we have heard the Tektons they are an excellent value  not our cup of tea.We have been Coda dealers for years.

Mr M go back and actually read what we wrote about the Personas.We said a set of 3f can compete with certain $20k sets of loudspeakers and the Persona 9H can compete with $60k wilsons we never said they were betterNor do we say the Personas are fo...

Yes Tomic like you point out Treo ct perfect piston tweeter non pistonic midrange. I guess perfect piston technology for lesser models and having two completely different materials makes for a coherent presentation?Also the Bryston you use are not...

Beetlemania, do you honestly think that anyone who is such a fervent Vandy guy or the same with the Tekton guys is going to ever fairly evaluate any thing else? To these guys it is like a religion, if you notice we don't say any of our speakers ar...

Good for you Mr. M, please go and enjoy your loudspeakersWhat we have found in 30 years of professional audio sales, as well as being an audiophile for 45 + years, that there is no universally correct product for everybody, therefore we sell multi...

Yes Mr M totally correct all else is boat anchors. The real issue is brand blinders. There are always new and perhaps even better products entering the market such brand loyality prohibits entertaining looking at those products.

Roxy it has nothing to do with us vs any other dealer. We talk facts. We talk about opinions. To say one speaker is better than another is silly.Which is better a BMW or a Mercedes?We point out why we believe our products are competitive and a goo... 
Bricasti M1 vs DCS Debussy
Okay Folkfreak that still proves there products are still obsoleted.Even so how can you compare a still obsoleted DCS product to one that is not, you are still tallking a company that is still not actively creating a true path to keeping the same ... 
Bricasti M1 vs DCS Debussy
Yes Folkfreak used to sell DCS however a 10 year life cycle is not realistic for their products as they seem to come up with a new series way sooner than that.In terms of trade ins all dealers generally offer them, remember sold DCS in the past, t...
