| Paradigm Persona series I know that Gryphon will stop a dealer from selling their gear if they discount it. I know that most will only buy 'discounted' gear. In the end, that's what the real price of the gear is. 20% off gear is a lot for a company to give. It's very... | |
| Paradigm Persona series contuzzi286 posts02-24-2019 3:56pmCtsooner: it’s a trade in program where you trade in your old speakers. And most dealers will give 10-15% off normally anyway. No one is upset about it aside from you. There’s nothing unusual about something be... | |
| Paradigm Persona series Why would any manufacture give 20% off an expensive speaker and ruin it for those who purchase in good faith at list? | |
| KLH Kendall Speakers vs Vandersteen 2CE Sigs I know Rutan would also give you a 60day trial of the 2's if you are a serious buyer. Just have to ask for it. Rutan would invite you in with the KLH boxes to compare. | |
| Paradigm Persona series Santa, that's my point. We all like different things in a speaker. Some overlook hot and or bright thinking they are highly detailed and if they 'stage' great or have another positive thing, they love them...until they grow tired and get the next... | |
| Paradigm Persona series There is a reason that many loudspeakers will sell and all sound so different. There is a lot of disinformation out there about many lines and some comes from boards. Folks all hear differently and all too often dealers will discuss others speak... | |
| Paradigm Persona series Dave, you honestly need to stop with saying folks aren't listening to these in systems not set up properly etc... That's just a false statement. I have heard these in numerous systems with excellent electronics etc... and that includes YOUR house... | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). Guys, AQ now has a new lower cost power conditioner. I have the old style, which is a larger round power strip style. The new one is rectangle to fit on a shelf in a cabinet. I"m thinking of selling mine and getting the 5000 as a step up. The A... | |
| Paradigm Persona series What a very entertaining thread. Nearly everyone I've ever met feel that the 9H is on the brighter side of things. Every time I've heard it that ways (including at Dave's) it's sounded that way to my ears. No excuses needed as so many folks fee... | |
| Counterfeit Audioquest Cables The origin of AQ cables means nothing. Termination etc.. are the most important things to keep in mind. That's for most cables. I've run into a pair of counterfit only once. That was in a dealer showroom where he was showing folks the differen... | |
| Proac D48R Guys, you can get in touch with Johnny at Audioconnection about footers for the Proacs. He's sold them for many many years and has a great idea of what the footers will do or not do with the specific speakers. The thing to remember is that footer... | |
| What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000 I actually was able to audition the smaller new Dynaudio with the Esotar 3 tweeter. I was really impressed by the sound. Beautiful looking also. Very impressive. | |
| Paradigm Persona series I have had a few folks bring over their amps to try out my Quattro CT's and so far they have all sounded great. They also have all been zero feedback designs, which is what RV recommends on his speakers. Just loving all the great music as much a... | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). Guys, each step of the way up with their power cords is a huge step up and not incremental. I have Hurricanes on everything and will get dragon on my source and DAC soonish. The new Garth Powell interconnects and speaker cables are supposed to b... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Dead on Steve. This is why they call it a system. Synergy is important. Find a speaker you seem to love in your price range and then match the components. Too may folks just buy and sell speakers and then trash them or wax poetic. JMHO |
