Paradigm Persona series
Guys, there are tons of trolls on the boards. It's what many boards have turned into.  A few of the dealers who post are also pretty much trolls.  They use the boards to further their business/finances.  Again, contuzzi, why does it matter?  It's ... 
Paradigm Persona series
Contuzzi, it's his right.  We all have products that we own, or enjoy that we use as a reference since we are familiar with them.  I do think that listeners need to really LISTEN and stop taking anything we all discuss on a board as the be all end... 
Finally got to hear the new Vandersteen Kēnto's with the
I promised Bob my William Tells as I'm going to possibly bite the bullet and upgrade to William Tell silver!  Please someone talk me out of this.... LOL... Garth's new cables and cords are just sick good.  Best cables at any price that I've ever h...

Vandersteen's new affordable mono blocks at the CES 18
thanks for sharing Darth. I know that Ryan, Gary and the guys at Ayre feel the same way.  Too many folks seem to buy expensive amps and don't even think about the pre.

The MXR's are a great amp to my ears also.  I'd love to hear as shootout. Also, the Brinkman and AR amps work great with his speakers.  You need a zero feedback design for Vandy's to sing.  Just like you need to be fully balanced to get the most o... 
April 2017 review of the Paradigm Persona 9H A home run for Paradigm!
I had Proac's for many years as did the rest of my family, lol.  I still enjoy their new top floor standers.

There is so much more that goes into a component other than specs or similar design.  It's all about execution of design.  Different boxes and ways to dissipate energy, cone and full speaker driver materials and design.  Internal components, cross...

Guys, reviewers for major mags are never going to pan a product.  IT's not politically correct and if they did, designers wouldn't want to share their gear.  I love reading reviews and mags etc, but never to chose what to purchase.  I'd rather lis...

Ask Richard about DSP. It can be heard as of today.  No one makes anything with DSP that can't be 'heard'.  That's why I like analog tuning of the bass vs using DSP.  Many will tell me I'm full of it as THEIR DSP works best etc...  Those are my ea...

I'm sure you will fall in love with these new amps.  I notice you are using Roon.  I love what Roon does, but it's not the best sounding program for digital.  JRiver is a much better sounding program to use for digital.  Matt Clott, who now write ...

That's awesome earth tones.  Can't wait to hear your thoughts.  What is the rest of your system?Pass is all over the place from what I have heard.  It depends on which line of theirs you are listening to.  Most are a bit warmer and very nice.  Goo...

I have a friend who wasn't 100% about the amps for the first month or so. Said they are really good, but maybe a touch too laid back for him.  Then I spoke with him last week and he said that they are so good, that it took him time to truly realiz...

Tomic, that's the part that most don't realize.  Richard is one of those guys who is so innovative, yet doesn't really share too much of what he's doing.  He just feels like folks need to audition and then make up there minds rather than worry abo...
