| Predicting the Next Paradigm Speaker Flagship...Persona v2? Every time I've heard Paradigm speakers they sounded bright and fatiguing to my ears. Never moved me but will give them another listen at the upcoming Axpona if they are showing. If that's how your ears hear it, then absolutely not for you. I h... | |
| Predicting the Next Paradigm Speaker Flagship...Persona v2? Very fair point, and I realize going back over it that my original response was arrogant and dismissive, and for that I apologize. I actually have great respect for Paradigm and their innovation and overall excellent speakers. I particularly li... | |
| Predicting the Next Paradigm Speaker Flagship...Persona v2? Uh, because I listened to them. Right but I don't think I have to tell you that everyone's ears are different and what is desirable to one person may not be to another. I was referring to dismissing them for others without knowing what's impor... | |
| Predicting the Next Paradigm Speaker Flagship...Persona v2? Thanks. Yes I've heard about the NS5000 but haven't heard them directly. Frankly I've listened to dozens of brands of speakers over the years and at the price point of the Persona series, you'll find that most of the speakers are well built an... | |
| Predicting the Next Paradigm Speaker Flagship...Persona v2? Nice @soix. Glad to see the love is being spread. Clearly this post is more geared to fans of Paradigm, but without saying what the use case is, I don't see how you can just completely dismiss one speaker brand over the other. If you're talking ju... | |
| Replacing Parasound A52+ With Anthem MCA 525 Gen2? Dual SB16-ultras. | |
| Replacing Parasound A52+ With Anthem MCA 525 Gen2? Thanks @audiotroy . To be clear, the question is whether the center would be fine with the A52+, which has less 4ohm performance. I'm sure it will work with the A21 that I already have. But the 525 is an option to have a single amp powering the ce... | |
| Anthem STR Power Amp vs Parasound JC5 Of course, everything is out of stock currently on Crutchfield due to chip shortages 😒 | |
| Anthem STR Power Amp vs Parasound JC5 @mike_in_nc Yes I've purchase from Crutchfield before and they are great. One of the best online dealers I've worked with. I will definitely consider them for purchase of the amp | |
| Anthem STR Power Amp vs Parasound JC5 @jgdill thanks for the feedback. That's great to hear that you can hear the difference coming from a A21+. I know several people who said they couldn't hear a difference coming from a base A21. I guess it depends on their speakers and other gear? ... | |
| B&W 800 D4's, Room size, & general Q's I'm sure most on this forum already know this, but sound is entirely subjective and largely a matter of perspective. Everyone's ears are different and age and environmental factors play a significant role in how you hear. For example, many people ... | |
| New Bluesound Node vs Cambridge CXN v2 for High Res Streaming? That's interested @rvpiano. I didn't know that. Yeah I want to get full resolution from what files and services I'm using so that's a con on the Cambridge. But I've heard consistently that the Cambridge sounds better which I would expect. However,... | |
| New Bluesound Node vs Cambridge CXN v2 for High Res Streaming? Thanks @lalitk . I have a high end AV Processor and an Oppo 205 with very high end DAC (pretty sure both will be better than the built in DAC on the NODE). I will try all three to see which works best for sound quality and convenience | |
| New Bluesound Node vs Cambridge CXN v2 for High Res Streaming? bump...question regarding the need for external DAC above? | |
| New Bluesound Node vs Cambridge CXN v2 for High Res Streaming? Thank you for the replies everyone. Sounds like folks are leaning to the NODE which I think I am as well.@dinosore - yes I am focused on high res as I can technically stream almost everything today via Bluetooth or Airplay. But the frustration is ... |
