Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels
@mheinze The Pass should have been a good match for the Persona for my ears. I think I would have liked the demo you had in Germany. You may really hate some amps I have owned in the past. I thought the Simaudio was warm sounding compared to those...

@drewan77 posted the following response to a DSP question I posted on the DEQX game changer thread.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/is-deqx-a-game-changer/post?postid=1681789#1681789 
Is DEQX a game changer?
@ drewan77 Sorry for the late response, I forgot to check this thread. Your response was very useful. When I get my small room sounding good you are welcome to hear it.

@mheinze When I first heard the Persona 5F with the Lyngdrof 2170 I was ready to go home after 5 minutes. I selected the Lyngdorf because of the DSP feature. We did not use DSP during the demo because the room was rather large and the DSP was not ...

@erik_squires  My room treatments from GIK arrive today. I will listen with them for a while, though I do not have a big speaker to pressure my room. There are some short comings in my untreated room that can be improved upon. So I will be listeni... 
Hegel H590
I contacted Hegel about hearing this in S. Cal but none of their dealers have bought one yet. I do know that the Suncoast dealer in Florida has the Hegel and a ton of other integrateds. You may want to give him a call and talk to him about it rela...

Interesting take by Linn on DSP. These are fighting words against the approach taken my Lyngdorf and Antherm.https://www.linn.co.uk/blog/want-true-room-correction-drop-the-mic

This amp seems a little like the amp I just heard with Paradigm Persona 5F, the Simaudo 860A at $15K. They were great with the Personas. I have always had the CODA on my radar so much so that a few months ago I was corresponding with CODA on the a...

@tomic601 One of the tuners I have is a modified Sony XDR-F1HD. It was rather low cost but surprisingly decent quality. However, it is a bear to use and I maybe interested in selling it for something else. I do not have the dollars to do this yet ...

@tomic601  I already have 2 tuners. I for each of the 2 stations I jam to. Now if I had a 3rd station, but no third station around these parts.

Currently listening to the incredible sounds on KCRW FM (available online too) at low volumes. These guys play such good eclectic music from 12AM - 3AM. It's like being a young kid again and listening with a transistor radio on my pillow.  
Paradigm Persona series
Anyone use the Persona with grills? Does it mess up the sound? 
Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels
I should have investigate the DEQX DSP system too. Funny this is I actually heard a bit of the DEQX system at the Persona demo. The Kyron speaker system with the single box electronics by DEQX. I did not pay too much attention because they were ge...
