April 2017 review of the Paradigm Persona 9H A home run for Paradigm!
Pound to pound Paradigm Persona 9H will be similar to Legacy Aeris at 50% of the price. Both are serious about room correction but you also get a DAC and preamp for free, again at little more than 50% of price. Aeris has both a 4" Tweeter with 1" ... 
Luxman m-900u owners - quick question
@garebear did you ever hear about Coda 15.5?. Class A up-to 100 Watts into 8 Ohms and then Class AB till 150 Watts into 8 Ohm, less than 50% retail compared to Luxman M-900u btw. If you want to compare options and want first watts to be pure Class A. 
Paradigm Persona series

Legacy Aeris owners which amp do you use and why?
@snoopy72 Wonderful. I should have taken previous advice from others on just starting with a good integrated. Glad you are enjoying Focus SE with Luxman. I am going to see through the Class D vs Class A/B vs SET thing after all. 
Speaker Recommendation: 20K range
@zephyr24069 something special from Legacy Audio. You peaked my interest :). Care to share?. 
Hypex N core module
@zephyr24069 I literally have to decide between Legacy Powerbloc4 / ATI AT523NC / Benchmark AHB2 / Coda 15.5. ICE vs Hypex vs Class ABH vs Class AB(high bias class A). Price is all over the place too. So hard to compare.Reviewers has a good impres...
