Personas....7F vs 9H

I was seriously considering something from the persona line,local dealer only has the b’s for demo for now.So that means I would have buy without demo or travel several states away.
I would be using a Lyngdorf 2170 with room perfect correction and would go passive.
But a demo pair of Lawrence audio double bass speakers from a dealer near Chicago quickly changed my mind,I wanted something different and unique and I think I found it.
Time will tell and happy hunting to all,

Kenny.

I just want to say that this is the type of thread were a dealer, like audiotroy, can really make a contribution.  I think his response was excellent, and if I myself were still interested in the Personas I'd really appreciate that input.

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.
