Active Speaker Choice
Just like passives, Active dsp systems will have their own sound. I really like Meridian for the rich full midrange and bass. Used M is competitive and established. The models get upgrades over the years so it's worth taking some time to find out ... 
Paradigm Persona 3F vs 7F
For 2 channel guys, I can't still be the only one, subs are unwanted distractions. Unfortunately most full range speakers have such low impedence in the bass that they feel thin. Previous speakers would have me using 200wpc amps on the lower taps ... 
Paradigm Persona 5F
Unlike you I had the ability to try them with several different components and I bought my pair.

MERIDIAN DSP8000 What should I do?
Go to hitchikers guide to Meridian forum. I bought a pair a few years ago and the guys on that site got me up and listening in no time, Freakin awesome find for the used prices. PM me with if you want to chat. 
DynAudio Contour 60 vs Paradigm Persona 7F
For the sake of the thread and I've listened to both speakers while we haven't gotten an answer from the op I bought a pair of persona 7f's. Compared to the salon 2 in my room using a hegel h360 and roon nucleus streaming music off tidal the 7f is... 
Opinions on Revel Performa F32?
Ok I'll play, I had the f52 for a while and replaced them with a pair of salon1's and I was disappointed that there was no appreciable difference with the $16k flagship speakers and tbh I liked the intimate soundstage of the performa2 better than ... 
Magicos!
I bought a pair of revel salons from a gent on the better side of town with a room similar to your dimensions and since then he went thru the salon 2's and a couple others but I think he's settled in with the paradigm persona 9h, he's had them lon... 
Magicos!
define medium room, length + width+ height and include furnishings, hardwood or carpet. ht or stereo, components. 
The best speaker you ever heard?
I would love to hear Vienna acoustics 'the music'. Big wilsons in big rooms sound amazing, the raidho d1.2 in the right room but for the cost of the wilsons you could follow your favorite musicians around the world for years so. meh  
The best speaker you ever heard?
20 year old thread and while I was skipping a page here and there I didn’t see votes for the speakers that impressed me the most. Usually my favorite is the pair I just sold til my ears get used to the pair I have then within a year or so I find s... 
Looking for speaker advice-$10-20k
give us some personal priorities and room dimensions. I found speakers that excel at specific things would dictate the type of music I play. Revealing speakers would have me playing jazz all night while making my 70's rock difficult to enjoy. what... 
Does a Tube Dac make sense?
I had a CAL dac with a tube output stage 15-20 years ago when digital was harsh. Modern dac's/recordings/streaming services are so much better I don't look for tone controls anymore. 
Is Meridian dead as a product company?
BUMP:There's still a few M dealers around and the above mentioned hitchikers guide to meridian is the place for all things M. I finally bought the kit I'd been pining over for years.The new prices are to expensive(for me)but second hand are worth ...
