| Paradigm Persona series @yyzsantabarbara What kind of music do you listen to? Classical, jazz? pop? | |
| Paradigm Persona series @frozentunda. I guess I’ve not decided unless and until I decide to buy something else but its obviously not a slam dunk. I hope this speaker purchase is my last before I'm put in my own fitted crate and sunk in the ground. I’m not sure I’m ready... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel and others: what do you see as the advantages of the 3.7s over the 2.4s? Do the 3.7s go deeper than the 2.4s? Can be driven louder? More highly inert cabinet less resonance at high volumes on the 3.7s? Better coincident midrage/treb... | |
| Paradigm Persona series OK, I’ve now tried to put into words my reaction to this speaker having lived with it in my own space for four days. Its a bit lengthy. I’ve measured the speaker in-room from here to kingdom come numerous different ways with pink noise and frequen... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? The other thing I would point out is I hear live symphonic music here in Atlanta at least twice monthly and in my experience live music doesn't sound like the all that focused with regard to image localization of individual instruments as I experi... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? The most holographic imaging I've ever heard has been in a friends JBL M2's. I haven't listened extensively but the thing that is particularly astonishing is the "size" of the localized images of various instruments. This is all in classical mus... | |
| Paradigm Persona series I know what the dealer cost is. Nobody is going to go to $20K. | |
| Paradigm Persona series @yyzsantabarbara Thanks again for all this info. I would love to audition the Vivid line but alas again I have to travel from Atlanta to another major city to find those. I heard the A3 a few days ago but it was in a tiny room, poorly setup. T... | |
| Paradigm Persona series Thanks @yyzsantabarbara. I have a friend who also liked the Blade 2 but I don't have a dealer locally who can demo it. Have you listened to the Magico's? They also I think meet our preferences as well as far as being very incisive, quick and de... | |
| Paradigm Persona series I have a pair of Persona 9H’s in my listening room for evaluation having received them Thursday. I have to say I’m really impressed with them, and on just about everything I listen to except classical they sound very very good. The not so slight p... | |
| Thiel Owners @ronkent I’m less optimistic about properly and seamlessly integrated a couple of subs with the 2.4’s than you are but the proof is in the pudding and if you’re happy that’s all that matters for you obviously. I took delivery today on a pair of Pa... | |

| Thiel Owners Continuing saga on whether to replace my aging but spectacular Thiel 2.4's with something else: Magicos? Vandersteen? Von Scweikert? I dunno, but this decision is going to be made very methodically and carefully. So one of the more serious aud... | |
| Thiel Owners @bighempin: If you are ever in Atlanta you are more than welcome to listen to my 2.4's on my Pass Labs (power amp) / Aesthetix Calypso/Janus preamp system. Amplification is tremendously important especially with the Thiels which are a bit finick... | |
| Thiel Owners BTW this Thursday I’m getting an in-home audition of the Paradigm Persona 9H which another poster in this forum seemed to think gets closer to the "rightness" in terms of timbre and tone that my Thiels give me. Its my first venture outside the Thi... |
