Paradigm Personas anyone heard them

I have heard both the Signature and the 3f but I didn't feel it was really a fair comparison... but that's just me

My use is home theater primarily.

The most accurate (and best price performance) I have heard were the Tekton speakers but at this point in time they don't have the HT lineup that I would like. I don't think they are warm, bright or anything but accurate IMO. They do not have the openess of the Aeris though. The Aeris is magical there. But again, that's just me.

The 5F's are very good IMO ...but the 9H's are just stunning. when calibrated to the room, they produce so much low end information without any boom or drone.  I auditioned with my own amp (ZOTL40 @ 35w) and the synergy was spectacular.  The active woofer is a winner.  I listened for three hours ...there is so much richness and effortless fullness to the sound when the lows are present and controlled. 
And the dealer margins must be good because I was quoted a great deal - which I am now seriously considering.  Compared to other high end speakers they are are steal and probably end-game for me.

I've heard the Persona 3f and was very impressed.  Going back tomorrow to hear the 5f in comparison.  As I posted elsewhere, I will then try to decide between one of the Paradigms, the KEF Reference 3 and the Monitor Audio pl300ii.  I'm wondering how each of these will sound with my equipment--Audio Research VT130SE amp and LS22 pre amp.   Also wondering why neither Srereophile nor Absolute Sound has reviewed the Personas (A/S did review the Persona 9).  I called Paradigm for some information and learned that they soon will be offering grills for all the Persona speakers for an extra charge (important in my case for WAF).  

Dmance-sounds like you were offered a discount on the Personas.  I've had so little luck getting a discount on new high end speakers that I usually don't even ask.  Don't want to pry but I certainly would be interested in any additional information you could share.

i live in Canada - about 20 miles from the Paradigm factory.  i;ve waited for years to have a true high end loudspeaker company in my backyard.  Ive not heard everything - but gosh these 9H's have to be close to the TOTL Magico's ...for less than half price. 
FYI - when I was at my dealer, they corrected the speakers for the room (the speaker comes with microphone + software to program the onboard DSP). Using five separate measurements per speaker, the correction is almost 10 db of swing correction to address peaks at 40,80hz and trough at 60hz.   Look at this damn flat response!  I believe it when then say they are flat from 20hz to 20khz!

Regarding the deal ...I think most of if comes from accommodation for the CDN$/.USD$ exchange rate.  If Mr. Trump continues his shenanigans, i wont be able to afford anything from the USA.
