Paradigm Persona series Glad to see a few folks giving the Personas a chance. I am enjoying the heck out my 5f’s. Sound better all the time as they have a long break in time. Electronics on the warmer side and you will be rewarded. Cabling is also very important. Cerious... | |

Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here! So.. I have a 400 being shipped as I type. I will have an Aurender A10 ( integrated music player/ dac) and a Micro Zotl 2.0s pre plugged in. Together about 70 watts per manufacturer.Just wondered if the fan only comes on when the 400 gets warm? Do... | |
Paradigm Persona series I don’t think half of the dealers Persona’s are broke in. Paradigm will tell you 300 hours. All I can say that with proper cabling and with tubes somewhere in the chain the Persona’s ( I have the 5f’s) are a great speaker. Absolutely kill my previ... | |
Magico A3 vs S3 MKI I owned a pair of S3 for a year. Pretty good speaker. I have heard the A3 at Axpona and the S3 is a much better sounding speaker to me. Of course you are comparing 22600 new vs 9800. I just sold my pair a few mos ago for 9500. (Just what I paid fo... | |
NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables I have 2 sets of single ended Ic’s, Speaker cables with custom jumpers, and a 2 gang outlet box Bob made me from his best power cord wire. Love it all and Bob is a pleasure to deal with.In my system it absolutely beats the Audience AU 24Sx that it... | |
Paradigm Persona series The Personas and Mcintosh amps are a terrible match. Flat and Uninvolving. A lot of dealers have them matched up together. I have had friends over that have Martin Logan Clx, Wilson Sophia, Merlin Mxm Black magic and they love the Personas . Th... | |
Aurender N10 - Sound quality performance is erratic Thanks for your findings | |
Paradigm Persona series If the Personas are matched with Cerious Technologies speaker cables you will get a glorious midrange and delicate highs. All the brightness will disappear. The Personas take 300 hrs of break in. I highly doubt any dealer has them even broken in p... | |
Paradigm Persona 3 vs 5 vs Monitor Audio @ kmicameiI have the 5fs in a similar sized room to yours and they are just perfect. Cabling is very important with these speakers. Make sure you have Speaker cables that tend to be voiced toward the warmer side. Also Budget for a $ 700.00 set ... | |
Aurender N10 - Sound quality performance is erratic @ pokey77What dac where you using when comparing the N10 to the A10? I assume you where using both as Streamers and USB out for both?did you compare the A10 vs N10 +Dac ?Just wondering. Thanks,Russ | |
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables I will chime in shortly on the Matrix. Fantastic cable | |
Paradigm Persona series I have now had the Persona 5Fs for 3 mos and after a cable loom change and some fantastic tuning footers from Combak Harmonix I can say these speakers are worth heavy consideration.They are replacing a set of Magico S3. The Magico's weren't bad ... | |
Another fine mess… Use your Oppo as your switcher. Cable box into Oppo. Digital out to your Pre. HDMI to your plasma. I have mine set up this way using a Oppo 103. Works awesome | |
Paradigm Personas: A First Listen All about synergy. I have had the Persona 5F's for about 7 weeks.The Audience au 24SX Interconnects and speaker cables where fine with my previous Magico S3 but not a good match for the Persona'sI inserted Cerious Technologies Graphene Matrix IC's... |
