Paradigm Persona series
At the dealer where I compared (in the same room with speakers in the same basic location), using my Hegel 30 amp, 30 dac, and Aurender music server (and Anzus C2 Cabling)...The Contour 60s sounded "good" and had phenomenal bass... so extended, ...

Magico A3
Thank's for sharing your impressions! Where did you hear them? Have you heard the dynaudio contour 60s to compare as well? And/or Persona 3Fs or 5Fs? Thanks!Dave 
speakers with balls
dep14 DynAudio - I’ve got the Contour 60’s. I think the 30’s and 60’s are damn fine rock speakers. Both can move a ton of air, the Esotar 2 tweeter is just great as it’s detailed without being bright. Big soundstage (but I’ve heard even bigger). ...
