I have a pair of meridian dsp8000se and a pair of persona 7f, I've also owned several other well regarded speakers that I sold because I couldn't find a good match between components.The GE and and new paradigm founder with active woofers are pass... | |

| Revel Salon 2 vs Vandersteen 5a Carbon The salon2 needed more power than my 250/425wpc amp could provide and I let them go. The Vandy's I've heard had huge mids with a kinda thick bass and a soundstage that made me wonder if they were wired in phase. | |
