Personas....7F vs 9H

I’m not affiliated with the Audio Doctor in any way, but I must defend him based on my conversations with him. I initially contacted him regarding possible speaker replacement. He actually recommended that I keep my speakers and instead recommended inexpensive tweaks. I’ve talked to him several times. He has always been professional and provided very helpful information.

Thanks Prof and Kdude.

Kdude the hot ticket in the line is the 3F which for the extra money just delivers way more performance then the Bs, at $7k plus stands vs $10k no stands and you have much deeper bass, makes the 3F the best value in fact, Paradigm has admitted that they make very little money on the 3F's.

We tested JL Audio's subs, which we love and the SVS FB 13 which was not as fast or as clean as the JL audio. The Paradigm SW 1000 and the 2000 are really terrific, the SW  2000 actually sounded better to us then the mighty JL Fathom 113v2 which we also display. 

In terms of the 3F vs the 5F the 5F still sound better due to the larger physical size of the 5F and the way a larger speaker projects sound into a room aside from the extra bass.

Kdude the Lawrence are nice speakers so if you like them that is great, we love Ribbons tweeters.

Audiotroy,
Thank you for your recommendation,My local dealer,audio advice just doesn’t get enough interest in upper model speakers but I’m gonna try and twist their arm to display the 3F.
I really think if they make the investment it would spark more interest in the persona line for them.

If the double basses aren’t my cup of tea,I maybe calling you guys.

I have no affiliation with audio doctor either but I enjoy reading their posts,I think they provide solid info with no pressure and that’s what these threads could use more of.

Kenny.

audiotroy,

Whereabouts do you like to crossover to the JL Subs when you use them (e.g. with the Personas)?
