Paradigm Persona series
At the dealer where I compared (in the same room with speakers in the same basic location), using my Hegel 30 amp, 30 dac, and Aurender music server (and Anzus C2 Cabling)...The Contour 60s sounded "good" and had phenomenal bass... so extended, ... 
Paradigm Persona series
I’ve been reading this thread for a while, and as an audiophile consumer... here’s my 2-cents.I’ve never met or spoken with audiotroy or visited his shop, but what I have done is auditioned several high-end speakers in the $10-$25K range recently ... 
Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ??
Ah, ok. thanks. Do you know what he replaced them with? 
Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ??
ricred1, do you mean someone sold their revel 2's in favor of the magico A3s?I'm also wondering this same thing... since both can be had for a similar price (used revel 2 vs new magico a3) I'm curious to hear from those who have some direct experi... 
Amplifier for my new Focal Sopra no2
Hi all, interested as well as I recently took the plunge and aquired a pair of Sopra 3s. I currently have  hegel H30 dac and anzus carbon speaker cables. The system sounds powerful and dynamic and very listenable with smooth vocals. Moving stillpo... 
DynAudio Contour 60 vs Paradigm Persona 7F
Thanks! Yeah... for that matter did you find that to you the revel Ultima2 salon2s sounded better than the Dyn C60s? 
Magico A3
Thank's for sharing your impressions! Where did you hear them? Have you heard the dynaudio contour 60s to compare as well? And/or Persona 3Fs or 5Fs? Thanks!Dave 
speakers with balls
dep14 DynAudio - I’ve got the Contour 60’s. I think the 30’s and 60’s are damn fine rock speakers. Both can move a ton of air, the Esotar 2 tweeter is just great as it’s detailed without being bright. Big soundstage (but I’ve heard even bigger). ... 
Any Paradigm Persona 3f and GoldenEar Reference comparisons?
Nice to hear how well the new Dynaudio Contour 60s compared to the Reference. Would also be curious if anyone has compared the Dyns to the Persona 5f or 7F. 
Best analytical loudspeakers for strings (midrange)?
Just heard the Persona 5Fs yesterday (powered by Meridian DAC/Pre/Amp with Transparent cable) and the sound was perhaps the most detailed I’ve ever heard, yet still "musical". I think this presentation may be the sort of sound you’re after (the or... 
Personas....7F vs 9H
Hey guys,Thanks for the input. And yes all of the "advantages" of the 9H make sense given the room-correction and ability to be more amp-friendly etc.However, given how great the 5F sounds... I think many of us are still keen to know how the 7F so... 
Paradigm Personas anyone heard them
Don’t get me wrong; I am not knocking the 9H, I would love them just as anyone else, but all I am saying is that they could of easily had a 9H and 9F version (for less money).If everything the dealer told me is correct (he seemed to know his stuf... 
Magico A3
Anyone hear any news on release date for the US? really curious to hear these (and see how they sound compared to comparably priced Dyn countour 60s, or comparably priced used Salon2s, for example) 
Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range
Steve59,I've also got a Hegel amp (and their HD30 DAC) and am now looking to upgrade to a pair of speakers that do better justice to the upstream components as well as my ears (my AV 123 Rockets have worn out their welcome). I would imagine that t... 
Paradigm Persona 3 vs 5 vs Monitor Audio
Dmance... curious how it all turned out!
