| Aerial Acoustics Model 9 @luvrockin Thanks for the update! What did you end up doing to dial them in and what are you powering them with? Seriously considering picking up a pair locally. | |
| Aerial Acoustics Model 9 @luvrockin How are you liking the Model 9s nowadays? | |
| Best amp pairing with Aerial Acoustics Speakers? Bump. @j | |
| NEW integrated amp from Kinki Studio: EX-M1 - Good enough to replace my Pass Stack?? YES! Has anyone received confirmation of the 4 ohm rating? I've seen conflicting reports online, including this thread. What about at 2 ohms? Worried about handling demanding speaker loads. | |
| Paradigm Persona series We would also question Rivondale's testing methodology who says that is Schitt amplifier is good enough to drive the Personas, what cables were used, what source? There is so much more to setting up a world class sound system then arbittarily ... | |
| Paradigm Persona series If you were referring to me, I should clarify that I do not own any of the speakers I listed above. Those were just some demoed over a couple weeks. I mentioned the ones above because they all use beryllium, and I wonder if that is one of the reas... | |
| Why so many used focals? I found the Kanta No. 2 bright and forward, on both Naim and McIntosh electronics, at my local dealer. | |
| Paradigm Persona series @yyzsantabarbara Yes. Nothing I said above is inconsistent with that statement, which I agree with. All I’m saying is that one may subjectively like or even love the speaker or want to buy it to fill their need to tune and tweak, but it still meas... | |
| Paradigm Persona series That’s a cop out. The speaker is bright. Demoing Paradigm Persona 3F and Focal Kanta No. 2, at different shops, with the same recordings, they both sound bright/harsh and uninvolving, despite the great resolution. The Paradigms were on my amp (Sch... | |
| Anyone listened to Aerial 9's? Raising this from the dead. Has anyone compared the Aerial Acoustics Model 9 to the 7T? | |
| Aerial Acoustics 6T Speaker @teajay How do the Aerial 6T and 7T hold up nowadays against some of the more recent designs you've heard? I haven't heard the 7T, but absolutely loved the 6T that I demoed, against speakers from Paradigm, KEF, Klipsch, and Focal. | |
| Paradigm Persona series If moderators are going to delete posts, it would be helpful to know why. | |
| Paradigm Persona series Also our main demo room is 26 by 20 with 10 foot ceiling, don’t think your dealer has a single room of that size. They do. Don’t make assumptions and take underhanded jabs at other dealers. Everyone that works there is also a much less annoying hu... | |
| Paradigm Persona series @audiotroy If you’re going to keep addressing me and implying I have some hidden agenda, the least you could do is spell my username correctly.I don’t have an agenda. I simply shared my experiences with the Persona 3F speakers as compared to a num... | |
| Why so many used focals? I can’t recall the model of McIntosh amp I demoed on, but know it was a two-channel. However, I found a Stereophile review of these McIntosh solid state mojo blocks. See: https://www.stereophile.com/content/mcintosh-mc501-monoblock-power-amplifier... |
