How did u manage to hear ATC? What part of the country? 
Paradigm Personas: A First Listen
Tell me what they were playing. There are a number of products that we have tested that were highly recommended lines and the sound was not good. I have seen dealers run $5-10k dacs with little cheappie network streamers rather than an Auralic or ...

Why don't you come to our place and hear our set of Personas and judge for yourselfI would say that you are heavily biased into your systems sound and as with everything you hear is open to how a system is setup. I have heard Focals sound very goo...

No Oakey the difference between Sig & Persona is not just the tweeters both being Beryllium. The Personas use Truetent Beyrllium which is from Brush Wellman. The color is different than the older Sigs which had a different hue to them so the o...

You are also mistaking the fact that I was a big fan of the Infinitys of that time period. One of my favorite speakers was the Betas,I would say that by today's standards they are dated, the Persona's uncover way more detail and are built better

One Ascend may make a nice speaker, but they do not have the engineering prowess or pocket book to make their own drivers from scratch, I mean no offense to the guy from Ascend but lets face facts. Two: The Beryillium tweeter in the Personas is pu... 
Paradigm Personas: A First Listen
OkeeteekidThis is a thread on the Personas, not a thread on the older Infinity IRS products and of course a gigantic speaker is going to produce a scale that even a top notch speaker such as the Persona can not equil.I have heard the older IRS as ...

No I never said they are a cost no object speaker, I said they compare and can compete with many of the best small boutique companies and can easily compete with with Magico, Rockport, Wilson, B&W, Focals and YG, models that are priced in the ...
