Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2
sciencecopmidrange, is typically the frequency range between 300Hz and 5,000Hz.400 hz is the beginning of midrange...not "the middle".DSP in 9H only corrects bass region (until 200 hz).

Yes, mheinze ... your ears are much more sophisticated than mine or others who prefer other speakers.Next time I will ask for someone who have "sophisticated" ears to choose my next equipment. 
Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2
Like I said...only heard Magico at shows, usually the top of the line, M5 and Q3. But always never stayed to much time in rooms. Maybe the music, maybe the sound...i dont know, but never moved by the speakers.

I have Persona 9H with a SET Amp (50W class A) and the sound is not "bright or brittle" and the bass is the best I ever had in my room...contolled and nice integrated, thanks to DSP.I only listened Magico speakers in shows, but only with SS amps.....

Yes true...that´s no secret for me. I run my Persona 9H with a SET 845 tube amp. Simply marvelous!!

Yes I am planning to listen a Innuos Statement...I am from Portugal and is easy to have one in my home. Actually I have Antipodes CX + EX and I am very happy with this setup.

pwhinson...There was definitely some incompatibility with the your room/equipment and the Personas 9H. My room has a huge problem at 40 Hz and the DSP Arc in Persona solves that nod perfectly. The upper octave is very even without any digital ar...

Yes, there is some noise from the speakers, but nothing too serious. Personas 9Hs at 96db sensitivity, I think it is inevitable. At the other hand, Thiel CS2.4 at 87db and 4 ohm impedance, are not the most obvious choice for a SET Amp IMO.

If you have the chance, please try Townshend Seismic Isolation Podium.Very effective isolation and give a even more premium look to the speakers.

benzman, I changed my cables from Kubala Elation to Audience Au24 SX, because I thought the sound was more natural with Audience, and I didn´t find the sound thin.But with the new Arc Genesis software probably we can add a little more body to the ...

I use Townshend Seismic Isolation Podium with great effect.Speaker and interconnect cables are Audience Au24 SX.

Benzman is right...Persona 9H need at least 300h of burn in. When I received my Personas 9Hs the mids were a little congested and highs a little hot. But after 3 months the improvement was amazing!I do not listen to classical music, but jazz and a...

ctsooner is a very funny guy. Every post from him is a opportunity to bash Paradigm, with subliminal messages, like the one in the last post ("daughter likes them for her parties at college ...").I do not know the reason, but it is evident his cru...

ctsooner...please tell me which companies do not make discounts ... because in 30 years in this hobby I have always achieved at least 20% in prestigious brands (Rockport, Magico, Sonus Faber, etc.)...and Paradigm is not different.
