Paradigm Personas anyone heard them
I heard the Persona bookshelf speakers, and I was blown away, best sound I have ever heard. We were able to switch to some B&W 802d,s, and I know this is hard to believe, but the Persona were significantly smother and more transparent, a far b... 
Best speakers to replace Martin Logan CLS
I love Martin Logan, one speaker I heard recently that had similar clarity and a real effortless sound is the Paradigm Persona, frankly they blew me away, and I think the dynamics would better the Logans. Just a thought, a very personal thing, spe... 
The new amplifiers is getting warmer and hot
The A 21 does run a few watts in Class A which will make it run warm 
Paradigm Persona 3F paired with Parasound JC5 /JC2
I was finally able to hear the Persona bookshelf speakers paired with  Anthem separates today, and compared them with the B&W 802 D3 and the Paradigm bookshelf speakers blew them away! I was stunned by the effortless clarity and neutrality the...

best way to get internet radio
thanks, I was thinking that, the compromised source really limits the amount you can do with it. Does the Bryston sound a lot better, can you justify the price difference just for internet radio?

johnnyb53 Thanks, things can indeed get solved in newer models, so I assume you have not heard the gold or platinums? I will check out the others you mentioned. The Monitors are the best looking speaker I have seen in it's price range, which is a ...

Before letting this one go, has anyone heard the Monitor PL200? This was the speaker that I read a review of that got me thinking in this direction. 
Monitor Audio for classical music
Nick sr, I was looking at the rx8's or the gx300's, used. 
Monitor Audio for classical music
Layman, you are confirming what I have herd from some, that Monitors are bright, ringing as you put it. I am leaning Martin Logan, my budget is initially 2 grand, but will upgrade to 10 grand, so i would like to find a speaker, and then continue t...
