Why no discussions of Paradigm Persona for Home Theater?
I saw, and briefly heard, the big Personas at Audio Solutions here in Indianapolis. Damn gorgeous! Sounded plenty good as well... 
A visit to the (Audio) Doctor
I had the best Audio shopping experience today at Audio Solutions in Indianapolis. The owner, Graham, treated me like royalty and gave me a fabulous deal on some B&W Diamonds! Can't recommend highly enough!
