| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen Come on @urbie19! You're giving the rest of us who aren't too enthusiastic about those Paradigm models a bad name. The level of your rancor would suggest that a Persona had run over your dog or absconded with your wife... | |
| April 2017 review of the Paradigm Persona 9H A home run for Paradigm! @ctsooner is entirely correct. Imagine the attitude most companies would take to the reviewer who panned their product, and to the mag that published it. Are they going to be queuing up to lend other $$$ units for them to review? Likewise other... | |

Ultimately, the ... | |

| Fyne Audio - Anyone heard lf it? Suncoast Audio in Florida carries a good selection of their lines. | |
| Electrical/mechanical representation of instruments and space The next step in this, is the issue of a full-range single drive unit (per channel) v. two, three or more drivers. The explanations given by almarg and gs5556 point to why it's difficult to design a fully satisfactory single unit, though multiple... | |
| Developing critical listening skills When I mentioned live music, I wasn't thinking so much about soundstaging as the inherent timbre of instruments and the human voice, particularly unamplified ones. If the studio recording distorts these (unintentionally) then it's not doing a goo... | |
