| Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) ProfThat was a nice synopsis of what you experienced.

| Worked Backwards and Would like to Hear Suggestions on Speakers If they are older units pass. The older versions tweeter didnt mate well compared to the newer versions.Snap up the Aeris instead.Dave and Troy Audio Doctor NJ | |

| Persona 3f vs B&W 802D2s We just set up a set of Persona 9H on the weekend and boy did they sound natural.We compared them to the playback of a real Steinway and it was very close.Talked with a guy from South Africa who is leaning towards the Personas.Heard a big set of M... | |

Panamax and Furman two very commercial brands tend not to make an audible difference.We have many different power conditioners in our shop including: Isotek, Audio Magic, Audience. and Running Springs the difference that ... | |
| Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K) Vermeer, thanks for the kind words and support.Your room is small but it is not that small.

| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one Hgeifman,You are making a lot of sense. The real issue is that Gryphon has been unavailabe for years therefore trying to find a person who has actually heard one is nearly impossible at least in the States, in Europe it is another matter.As per Vi... | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one Sorry Denon, the intent was not to push the product, but find out why a similar product that may be better for you is not on the discussion or even being considered?As these two brands are more similar then dissimilar that was what is driving our ... | |
| Persona 3f vs B&W 802D2s Hey Contuzzi right on, that is why we say add a good sub which helps round out the sound and give some additional augmentation.One of the other main differences between the 5F and the 3F is the larger cabinet size interacts in the room to produce ... | |

| Persona 3f vs B&W 802D2s We are displaying dealers for the Paradigms and have a fairly good idea between the two brands.Obvioulsy we are Paradigm biased but here goes:1: The Personas have a much greater degree of coherency as the Persona uses the same exact material for t... |
