Csmgolf, the setup did not sound bright at all, compared to other speakers the Persona's had far greater clarity then the Kef R series which we also demoed.
Yes it is true these are not laid back speakers they are however remarkably transparent, fast and accurate and so if you prefer a warmer more recessed sound then this kind of accuracy will not be for you.
We also demoed the 3F with the more expensive Naim NAC 272 dac and preamp and a 250dr, and then we added the XPS 2 power supply and the system started to sound really magnificent.
In retrospect the demo was a bit flawed on the higher end Naim as we could not use Roon directly into the NAC 272 and had to use another streamer with an spdif cable to play the test files which were storred on a usb thumb drive.
Also there is a way to change the sound quality radically on the Naim Uniti products if you are using Naim which is to ouput your PCM files as DSD which the Uniti can handle and boom now you have the elevated midrange and softer top end of DSD decoding we didn't do that either.
Normally our demos last for 2-3 hours this demo was a bit brief so we didn't even scratch the surface of what we can do and how we can tune the speakers to match someone's taste.
There is also a huge range of gear to choose from in our shop, we started with the Naim Uniti for one reason which we Mr. Hofer also heard the Wilson Sabrinas on the same amplifier.
We never went to the Krell K300i which is a very warm integrated nor did we listen to the Antem STR amp/preamp combo which also sounds really outstanding on the Anthem.
