| April 2017 review of the Paradigm Persona 9H A home run for Paradigm! A long time ago I owned Thiel 2.3's for less than a year, then was seduced into getting the 3.6's by a generous trade-up policy and the quest for more bass. Biggest single hi-fi mistake I've ever made (and I've made several). The 3.6's drove me ... | |
