Personas....7F vs 9H
You’re leaving out the huge fact that they require DRAMATICALLY less power due to the hardest part (the bass) being powered already. 
Amps for Paradigm Persona 3f
Returntomusic: PLEASE spend that money on a better amp. First off, the 225 is discontinued. The new Anthem STR integrated is what you should be looking at (around double the price) as it is leaps and bounds better than the 225.Also, some of the 22... 
Focal No.2 Speaker System: A New Age Dawns
Kosst_amojan:  I have been spending a lot of time with them...  they are dramatically more musical and organic sounding than the Electra’s (be2).   
Personas....7F vs 9H
The bass performance of the 7F is of course SIGNIFICANTLY better than the 5f.  Just think — the 7f has dramatically more cabinet volume, and two 8.5” woofers that are not only much bigger, but much more intense in design than the 6.5” woofers in t... 
Vienna Acoustics The Music
The Music is that speaker.I’d also recommend listening to the Paradigm Persona 3F and Focal Kanta. 
ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict?
I’m sure you will be totally honest.The fact that you speak as if you are the only people capable of accurately assessing their sound almost made me laugh out loud.  The hificrazed posts however, do make me laugh out loud.  Companies and dealers a... 
ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict?
That must be it.  I must be an “Unanointed Sustem Builder.”  Let me find my cape... 
ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict?
James, you seem like you have some comprehension issues. Are you REALLY suggesting I haven’t had the extensive time spent with the speakers I am saying I have? I told you I will show photos tomorrow if you’d like. You took me saying “I heard them ... 
ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict?
I thought they sounded great at Axpona.Based on that I recommended them, stupidly, based on the little I heard and the hype (like Audio Doctor, who just brought them in, without even hearing them).I heard a lot of promise with them, but kept notic... 
ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict?
I was surprised by it only due to the fact that I am under the impression that reviewers aren’t really “allowed” to truly down talk speakers they review for various reasons. I bet his impressions of the speakers are actually worse than he wrote, b... 
ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict?
Sure. I’ll take some tomorrow. Pay attention though — I never said I owned them personally. I do however likely have more time spent listening to them, setting them up in various rooms, setting up an entire theater based on them, etc than anyone i... 
ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict?
Audio Doctor will of course happen to think the speakers are amazing since he now sells them. Let’s be realistic here.I don’t want to down talk the speakers, because who knows — maybe I’m an elac dealer myself. However, I will say this... the Debu... 
Preowned Focal 1027Be or New Focal Aria 936?
Hard to choose, because the 1027be was back when Focal was known to make kinda “bright” speakers. The 936’s are unreal... but if you have some super smooth/warm tube amp/preamp, is go with the Electra’s. Keep in mind resale on Electra’s will be wo... 
Amps for Paradigm Persona 3f
I have extensive experience with the STR seperates and preamp on 3Fs.  I’d say around 400 hours.Don’t waste time or money worrying about cables now.  Literally the least important aspect of a system, no matter what anyone on here says. 
Amps for Paradigm Persona 3f
The best part about the anthem is even alone it’s worth the money.  When you factor in full blown stereo or dual mono bass management and some of the best most versatile room correction on the planet, it’s literally a steal.Oh, not to mention the ...
