Paradigm persona vs. Monitor audio Platinum

When I auditioned the Personas they had truly excellent imaging.  And also portrayed a nice life-sized sound.  (Even though I did not end up caring for the tonal quality of the speaker).

Check out the monitor audio Platinum 200 and 300 generation 2.they're way more three-dimensional than paradigm also the imaging and depth is better the layering between the instruments you can hear that are in space the cymbal sound more brassy. The voice more human and all the instruments sound more real and natural. The paradigms have a very forward top end. The cymbals have a metallic sound instead of a brassy sound the voice sounds more hard piano doesn't have that woodiness and the same with the string bass and violins you can't hear that woodiness.

This is my final word on this subject. Just look up the comments that jworth made on page 1 of this blog. He owns both the monitor audio Platinum 300 generation 2 and paradigm, and he said the Platinum 300 were better in width depth tighter bass and he said unfortunately I paid a lot of money for the paradigms so there's your answer on which is the better speaker and if you put them side-by-side audio Troy the same thing will happen but unfortunately you're too stupid to admit the truth because you sell paradigm.

Experience will weed out the bs, the fact is every ‘affordable hi end’ loudspeaker I’ve tried has been sensitive to every other piece in the chain with the room being the most influential following the amp/pre amp and on, then when the systems finally dialed in your buddy with dissimilar priorities comes in, listens a bit and politely says “ not bad”. Maybe you actually did get lucky and find a pair of plug and play speakers for your room. I’ll bet you the very pair you’re listening to you wouldn’t even recognize them if blindfolded and listened to in another venue. 

Steve59: Absolutely perfect. So true about not even being able to recognize the speaker. Unless you get to sit and play with a speaker in multiple rooms, for a quite some time, no one should really judge any speaker.

Because of this, dealers can sometimes have the upper hand because they get to play with so much. But they have to actually be real enthusiastic audiophiles and not just people trying to sell a product. Then you have to worry about them trying to sell a certain brand that they carry of course — but if anyone finds a dealer that is open and honest and looking out for their best interest, you have a gold mine of info.
