Paradigm persona vs. Monitor audio Platinum

I wanted to like the Monitor Audio Platinum series.  I listened to the huge tall ones along with the next one down which is I think the 300.  They sounded very very dark to me on classical music.  Could have been the room or setup but this was with super electronics (D'agostino).  I was impressed in the showroom with the Paradigm Persona 9H but couldn't get it to work in my room.  They measure only slightly tipped up in my room but for the life of me I couldn't get that tamed.  The did seem ruthlessly revealing.  Ended up with Magnepan 20.7's - I'm a detail freak who listens to mostly classical and I've been astounded at the Magnepans including their deep bass, no subwoofer required for me.

Probably the reason they sounded dark is because whoever was showing them was using them with not very good cable. MIT and transparent are the worst cables out there they make everything sound dead and dark. Those boxes screw up everything. I have the Platinum 200 and I use OCC single crystal wire which has been shown to be the best wire out there for audio over the last 40 years because there's no Crystal barriers in The wire. Ofc wire has 300 little fractures in it for every foot OCC has none in 700 ft.

And you can set those paradigm up anyway you like Troy and they're still going to be bright sounding. That's the characteristic of beryllium and you can't do anything about it to change it.

If you have to use a room correction system for your speakers doesn't say much about your speakers does it. I don't see sonus Faber, Wilson benesch Magico, monitor audio or any other top speakers out there having to do that.

Well nabcs, you obviously have no idea what you're talkin about. The p-8 and W 8 was reviewed by many people and they said it was world class bettering amps that cost three and four times the price.And I'll put my P8 W8 up against anything you got any time. Just like you were wrong on the kind of chip that the wyred4sound 10th anniversary dac uses. So obviously you don't know how to read because it's right on their website that they're using the ESS Sabre 9038 pro chip the best chip in the world right now.the W8 is not a good amp it's an exceptional amp and if you don't know that you're pretty dumb. And you probably couldn't afford it anyway.I don't like the way their prices of gone their preamp is now 40,000 which I think is ridiculous cuz it's only about 10% better than the the p-8 which was 15,000. High price doesn't always mean good you know, but simaudio has built an incredible reputation all around the world now you should know that if you know anything about the high-end.
