Any Paradigm Persona 3f and GoldenEar Reference comparisons?


Looking for AG member comparisons between the two, especially in terms of sonics, room interaction, and efficiency.

I have owned Paradigm speakers before but not the Persona 3F Unless they changed their house sound, I always found them to be very bright with too much detail. They were certainly not for me. I do own the Triton References, and they are a perfectly blended speaker with staggering bass, pinpoint imaging, very deep and wide sound stage and smooth mids and highs. They are the kind of speakers you can listen to all day long without fatigue.  The Triton Reference speakers are 93.5 db efficient and the woofers are powered by a 1800 watt amp.  The rest of the speaker is a pretty easy load but you should have an amp that does well into 4 ohms.  They are quite easy to place within the room as the level control for the woofer gives you plenty of leeway to make sure you don't get a thin sound or excessive bloat.
I haven't heard the reference, but did demo the Triton Ones.  Other than the extremely powerful bass output I wasn't very impressed - harsh treble and recessed midrange, it was all overly aggressive highs and bass.   The Paradigm Prestige 95Fs I demoed at the same store were heads and tails better in every way except for bass, and that's easy to fix with a sub.  

The Persona series just takes it up another level.  I've only heard the Persona Bs, but wow, they're absolutely amazing, best speakers I've ever heard hands down - detailed and open with absolutely no harshness, a wide and deep sound stage, and never showed any strain.  
The Personas are in a completely different league and are well underpriced.  Not a fair comparison.
