Paradigm Personas: A First Listen
Maybe the pair of persona B monitors the gentleman auditioned had Beryllium alloy tweeters in them Lol

Not what it says here, http://www.paradigm.com/products-archived/collection=signature/model=signature-s2/page=overview Those are the ones I tested against Either you have to get your facts straight or paradigm lied out of their a$$ and if they di...

Yet I keep telling you I did an A and B test side by side, paradigm S2-v3, B tweeters, Against the Infinity renaissance 90, High Energy emit tweeters, same tweeters found in the IRS epsilon.The High Energy emit tweeters have waaaay more detail, sp...

I just went on youtube and found some audio doctor videos, in this video from 2011 Dave was bragging about their finest speaker they had in their reference room, CES 2011 Best of Show winner—the $66k Scaena 3.2 ribbon/cone line-array loudspeaker, ...

audiotroyI will have to give the personas an audition, I hope the B tweeter in them doesn’t sound like the ones in the S2-v3, I’m use to the speed of ribbon drivers and never heard a dome that didn’t sound slow to me, will see.

audiotroyReally? In my A and B test, speakers side by side, my infinity renaissance 90’s that have only two emit tweeters in them had waaay better treble clarity than the paradigms S2 v3’s, yet 72 emit tweeters in the infinity IRS V don’t have bet...

Audiotroy,The Infinity IRS V compares with the Genesis Prime a $300,000 plus speaker, the infinity tweeters are better as they are push pull, the Genesis tweeters are not, the Genesis tweeters are like the emit r's infinity  used in their lower ...

Go and listen to the Infinity IRS V, you can hear them at this guys place and then you will see why the disparity would be embarrassing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPazywXrqJo

If you are comparing the genesis series 2 speaker in the below link, to the sound of the personas then that is an unfair test and you definitely don’t know what you are talking about as The Infinity IRS V sounds nothing like that little genesis sp...

To me the personas are not a cost no object speaker, if you think they are then you’re kidding yourself.This is what a cost no object speaker looked like in the late eighties, Infinity IRS V, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPazywXrq...

Not with a good tweeter like the Raal or any other good push pull design tweeter, I like the sound of some of the older High energy infinity tweeters, the many benefits of a good ribbon tweeter to me outway the slight lack of dynamics if any, go a...

My mistake, the Raal tweeter is not 1/4th the weight of a Beryllium tweeter.                                            It’s about 40 x LIGHTER!The average moving mass (weight of the diaphragm assembly with coil and former) of a Beryllium dome is ... 
Paradigm Personas: A First Listen
The paradigms only use the same materials down to the mid range driver, the woofer is a different material so according to you goodbye coherence? if this was a cost no object speaker the woofer would be Beryllium too.I don’t believe in all drivers... 
Paradigm Personas: A First Listen
The moving mass of a Raal tweeter is only 0.0075 grams, The Beryllium tweeter moving mass is probably closer to .30 grams, much heavier. 
Paradigm Personas: A First Listen
Audiotroy,Beryllium is light but the voice coil that it is attached to is still pretty heavy as compared to a much much lighter in weight true ribbon tweeter like a Raal, I wouldn’t be surprised if the total weight of a Raal tweeter was less than ...
