| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen We have the KEF Blades on display as well, which use KEF's best drivers, the Blades Uni Q driver features a driver of Aluminium with a low mass stiffening ring, and the Personas are even more transparent. It is not just the stiffness and mass of ... | |
| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen The moving mass of a driver is important, you are missing one of the other major advantages of the material, ie Beryllium is self damping, aluminium is not. The purity of tone is what makes Beryllium so extraordinary.Also Ribbon tweeters have othe... | |
| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen The other thing to note is that many people use Seas or Scan Speak Beryllium tweeters but neither of these companies is making a pure Beryllium midrange driver.Why is Beryllium so superb it is extremely light, it is stiffer than Titanium, it is al... | |
| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen Actually no. Beryllium has almost never been used for a midrange driver. Usher has one but it is an alloy. TAD made a Beryllium midrange in their original series. Beryllium is a highly toxic and very difficult material to work with so very few co... | |
| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen Thanks Blackfly you summed up my feelings perfectly.All I can tell you guys is that both myself, long time engineer and hobbyist, and my friend Dave we go about things a bit differently.I have known Dave since meeting him at one of the early New ... | |
| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen To gpgr4blu, you are honestly judging your entire experience with the Personas on one show demo in a way too small hotel room, with crappy acoustics, and in that one room only one or two seats were you able to get the best sound from that system. ... | |

| Paradigm Personas anyone heard them The Legacy speakers are fantastically musical and they represent fantastic value for the money. We have the Persona 3F $10,000.00 and the Legacy Focus Signature, $6,800.00 in the same sound room. The Persona's have a more extended treble, and a m... | |
| Paradigm Personas anyone heard them The NS 1000 was one of the first speakers to use vapor deposition so the layer of Beryilium was just a coating, their are very few speakers which employ pure Beryillium drivers, with the Personas being one of them. | |
| Paradigm Personas anyone heard them As per the Personas vs the Legacy, nothing beats the clarity of the new Paradigm Beryillium drivers, the Persona's also have absolutely incredible imaging. | |
| Paradigm Personas anyone heard them Hey Mtrot, we sell the Legacy's as well, the Aeris is still a considerably better speaker, the Focus XD is an awesome speaker for the price and an amazing amount of performance for the money and you are right that that Focus XD does get you close,... |
