I had the R 107/2 at the same time as the R 105/3 and surprisingly the 107/2 was bright in comparison, more deep bass and the 105/3 was colored in the mids...A speaker can be bright if it isn't harsh or colored. If I put the personas too close to ...

High-amp, I’m not advocating for meridian only justifying my own purchase because I could never recommend them at the prices they charge for new, used levels the playing field. Honestly if you understand (I don’t) how speaker placement works in yo... 
Intimate, warm and holographic alternative
I’ve been buying and selling used speakers so I can listen to the most recommended in my room with my gear. The problem is taking a chance on smaller brands with small marketing budgets can be harder to resell if they don’t workout. Have fun with ...

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 ...

Unlike you I had the ability to try them with several different components and I bought my pair.
