| Paradigm Persona series The pathos logos mk2 was my favorite | |
| Active Non near field loudspeaker D&D is just under $10k new, but why cheat yourself? try everything you can and you might be surprised. | |
| Paradigm Persona the right source matters! a year later and I bought a pair of persona 7f after over a year of listening to them with different components, and on one day we spent an afternoon listening to the speakers with different source and it was this speakers ability to change so pro... | |
| Paradigm Persona series As to cutting edge material, It was the main reason I was interested in the persona line and they can be amazing, but I still think everything is a compromise. When we hear details never before heard from a recording there has to be a reason and... | |
| Versatile, non-fatiguing speakers for a small room under $1500 used or new: advice needed!

| Pondering a change after 30 odd years... Seriously, get a listen to a used pair of meridian’s. They sell used for pennies on the dollar and sound unfreakingbelievable My only other suggestion would be more lateral and say you can’t go wrong with maggies. | |
