Paradigm Persona B Loudspeakers Professional Review
mofojo  I’m pretty sure they go to some audio shows, check them out if you can, the speakers I mentioned (their flagship) are really good. I know Salk and Philharmonic (other well respected ID brands) go to many shows, and I’ve heard many people t... 
Paradigm Persona B Loudspeakers Professional Review
audiotroyI looked at the same plots you looked at and did not see many of the issues you mentioned. Uhh, the 5dB rise from 4kHz to 10kHz, can you not see that? Can you also not see the dip at ~1400Hz off-axis? Paradigm can’t even do phase coherenc... 
Paradigm Persona B Loudspeakers Professional Review
Nope, they are for sure too bright. People saying it’s better are most likely dealing with a placebo effect, which is 100% real, and will influence even direct A/B comparisons. I will not hesitate to say that every single speaker Paradigm makes to... 
recommended sub-woofers for tekton double impacts?
Rythmik. HSU is great too, but it doesn’t have as many room/system integration options (such as only a polarity switch instead of a knob). 
Anyone familiar with Buggtussel Amygdala speakers and what their worth?
I have a pair, with those Attack boxes as well. I found them on here/Craigslist a few months back. I got them for $800, which I considered a steal. For local pickup, I slightly doubt you could get $1500, a realistic figure may be $1200. For shippi... 
A little confused on how to properly integrate my sub
Get an SPL meter (even if a free one on your phone), use C weighting. Load up an online tone generator, measure how loud the LS50 is from say 500Hz-5000Hz, and get an average SPL level for that region. Then, lower the frequency until is drops 6dB ... 
Sub Woofer for Golden Ear Technolgy Triton 5
Depends on budget, and whether you want sealed or ported (expensive ported subs are very musical, even 18” ones). What are is your preamp/integrated/receiver? 
Kii3 vs Raidho XT-1
The Raidho’s.    Monkey because that’s not a fair comparison. Between a cream of the crop $8.5K passive speaker and a cream of the crop $11.5K powered speaker, the passive will of course be better.    However, will you have DSP in the system? Beca... 
"Bookshelf" speakers designed to be placed near the wall behind them?
Salk SoundScape 7M in a front slot port configuration. 
Stand mount loudspeakers
Salk SoundScape 7M. Literally >100 finish options.    Salk also build Rythmik’s kits, so you can get them in the exact same finish. Go dual sealed 12”.    Outlaw RR2160 integrated amp for $800, paired with a MiniDSP 2x4HD with UMIK for $300. 
Speaker recomendation
The GoldenEar Reference has some flaws in the upper treble, and integrated subs are almost never a good idea. 1) Get drapes/curtains. Room treatment in general would be very benefifical, $750 goes a long way, Acoustimac is a good site, I’d get a ... 
Revel Ultima Salon 2
It’s the ones Floyd Toole owns, so that should tell you something. Before reviewing the KEF Blade 2, John Atkinson stated the Salon 2 was his reference speaker.Room layout/construction does matter as well.I’d love to hear the Salk SoundScape 12’s ... 
Most resolving Speaker
KEF Blade/Blade2. You really can’t do noticeably better, I’ve talked to many people who have demoed dozens of well regarded high end speakers, they all said the Blade2 was better, and measurements back that up. Magico makes good speakers, but are ... 
Folded tweeters vs. dome?
By folded tweeter do you mean AMT and Ribbon?When done right, a ribbon tweeter is easily better, RAAL’s lineup is arguably the best tweeters on the market.AMT is slightly different, and is what companies like GoldenEar and Emotiva use in their spe... 
Wilson Speakers & Reviewers
Because of reputation, looks, and people believing that they have to sound good due to their price.I’ve talked to many people who demoed their lineup, and all said they much prefer the KEF Blades and Revel Salon2/Studio2, and the measurements back...
