| Most impressive small footprint speaker Magico A3Paradigm Persona 3FVivid Kaya 45I could live with any of the 3 floor standers (almost full range) listed above. I have not heard the Focal Kanta 2 | |
| (Brutally) Honest Audio Reviews I thought this site was a bit amateurish when I read the KEF Blade review. http://www.audiodrom.net/en/floorstanding-loudspeakers/detail/28-floorstanding-loudspeakers/412-kef-blade-two Look at the amplification used in the review. They liked th... | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 The completely blacked out Persona looked great on the 3F. | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. Let me add a little more on GIK. The remote sound technician that designed my room panels, via telephone and photos told me to contact him in the future if I needed further assistance.I am going to buy new speakers for my small home office. I want... | |
| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? When I was younger I was not able to afford any album or disk. I had to rationalize a purchase so that limited the amount of music I heard. Today, those albums and disks that I did not buy I can hear in entirely and I am happy to learn some of tho... | |
| Benchmark HPA4 and LA4 Preamps The AHB2 is really great. It gives you a clear sound like nothing I have ever heard. I loved it with my KEF LS50's. I sold it to raise funds not because I disliked it. I would like to get the AHB2 for my LS50's in the future (2 future classic pie... | |
| DAC/Streamers Under 10k - Mytek, PS Audio... @stolpovsky Are you considering using the Linn Selekt DSM with Katalyst as a preamp with DAC? Can you output the signal from the LINN to another analog preamp? The LINN and it is a really fine product. A shame it did not have analog inputs other t... | |
| High end Cables not important for certain electronics? And it’s here at that ‘fully balanced’ point that things become really interesting. To many audio companies, ‘fully balanced’ is more to do with a balanced circuit ending in XLR connectors. This notionally gives zero noise acro... | |
| Which new amp to get? The new Hegel 390 maybe a good choice in your $6K range. Though in the review of the Hegel 590 ($11K) the reviewer said it was not dead silent like the Gryphon Diablo 300. I assume the 390 is also not dead silent.I only mention the Hegel because H... | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 @prof As someone who has owned Bryston in the past for about 15 years. Bryston would not be in my 10 ten electronics to use with Persona’s. I recently heard Bryston 4B3 and BP17 cubed with Vandersteen Treo CT and even that combo was not to my liki... | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 A question to Persona 9H owners. I have a room that is 12'W x 21'L x 25'H The short wall is actually 17' wide at the entrance but there is a mostly straight staircase that quickly takes away 5' of space on the right side of the room. So that is wh... | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 BTW - the 2nd dealer I went to visit for the 3F had the system setup with a $10K+ integrated I believe. I won’t mention what brand itwas because I do not remember exactly what the model was. However, I told the dealer it did not sound too good and... | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 Who is this is Mike Bovaird we are mentioning here?I like the Persona line and when I heard them, the 3F and 5F at 2 separate dealers, they sounded poor (1 was cringe worthy). So why did I decide to get the 3F and now changing my mind to the 9H? W... | |
| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? When was the last time you heard some say "I take the bus because car dealers are such jerks.You should read the posts on cargon.com. Tons of posts about taking the bus. | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 So it looks like the link I posted above for the 9H was from Audio Doctor's NY Show room. I just did a web search for "Persona 9H and room size" and that photo came up.Every time I climb the stairs of my home I see the big narrow empty space curre... |
