How do the Elac Uni-Fi UB5s compare to more expensive bookshelf speakers?
LS50 is a very small sounding speaker.  The UB5 is somewhat more open sounding and has better bass.  I think most people would be amazed if they had them side by side and compared volume matched (as I have).LS50s are a very overrated product if yo...

Salktower opinions
Not sure about the towers, but I heard the powered monitors at Axpona last year and they were sensational.  Very impressive.

It's funny how you two keep coming back on here and trashing the Personas.    Try a little harder to be discrete if you're in the industry (which you both obviously are, or this is even more pathetic than I thought).

Paradigm Personas anyone heard them
FWIW,I have heard the Persona 3F and I was blown away. First off, I thought they looked hideous in photos and was not excited about that aspect of them at all. However, when I saw them in person (the steel gray or whatever, which looks like a slig...
