Paradigm persona vs. Monitor audio Platinum


Just listen to the paradigm persona 7h.the monitor audio Platinum 300 generation two are so much more three-dimensional and open it's not even funny the paradigm sounded very two-dimensional compared to the monitors that MPD Tweeter puts the beryllium Tweeter to shame.

Urbie,  all I'm trying to say is while you may prefer the MA over the Paradigm the next guy that comes along may prefer the Paradigm.   One is not better than the other,  just different.   For you to say the Monitor Audio is better is false...better for you maybe but not better for everyone or every system  
And this is a thread,  not a blog FYI 

Anyway,  Have a good day.
"... Simaudio W8 p8, one of the best amps and preamps in the world..."

"...Wyred for sound 10th anniversary DAC (ESS Sabre 9038 ) One of the most analog sounding dacs on the market."

This kind of statements clearly shows the lack of credibility of the person who said it.

Simaudio W8 is a good amp...but very far from being one of the best.
No DAC with Delta Sigma chip will sound analog ever!!
Urbie you should do your homework,

" And just so everyone knows audio Troy either works at our owns audio doctor in New Jersey which is a home theatre installer. so obviously being a home theatre installer he doesn’t know very much about to channel and how it should sound. Cuz the paradigm persona don’t sound good in a 2-channel system. But keep using them for home theatre cuz that’s all they’re good for."

Really?

Kind of looks like we are experts in two channel audio doesn’t it?

Again if you know how to setup a Paradigm Persona you are going to get great sound.

Your comments about the Persona’s technology is laughable.

The Persona’s use exactly the same material for both the midrange and tweeter which is much more desirable than the Monitor which uses a Heil AMT which uses a thin plastic film as the transducer, and a composite metal/ceramic driver for the midrange, hardly the way to create a coherent sounding loudspeaker.

Also all drivers are made in Canada by Paradigm, with the pure Beryilllium from Brush Wellman, which is the only pure metal foundary that produces the pure metal in thin sheets to make drivers out of.

Other unique technologies in the series include the bass drivers dual voice coil design, the bass driver's suspension, the Phase Aligning Lens, and of course the Anthem Room Correction system.

Another interesting fact is that Monitors all show a depressed top end which creates a polite sounding loudspeaker, so if you prefer a softer sounding less dramatic sounding speaker then you would be a fan of the Monitors. The Personas do have a rise in the top end which only means that you have to have a more damped room with warmer equipment.

As per not selling the Personas are selling very well all over the world and getting fantastic reviews.

Personally Urbie we think you are totally inappropriate, although we sell Kef, Dali, Legacy, ATC, Paradigm, and a few other major lines we would never say that any of our loudspeakers are better than any of the competition nor are any of the other competitive brands either superior or inferior each company’s products have their own unique set of advantages and disadvantages, and sonic flavors, imaging, bass extension, dynamic capabilities, and sound stage height and width.

Although we have only heard the Monitors at shows and at those shows we were not blown away doesn’t mean that the Monitors aren’t excellent and it is possible we would like them as much or more than any of our current brands of loudspeakers.
