Paradigm Persona series


I'm beginning to poke around and gather opinions and information about a "super speaker" to replace my aging Thiel 2.4s.  I like the idea of bass dsp room correction and I am a bit of a point source type imaging nut (thus the Thiels).  So among other choices I've been looking at the Paradigm Persona series specifically the powered 9H with room correction for the bass.  However I'm skeptical of the "lenses" i.e. pierced metal covers on the midrange and tweeter specifically because of Paradigm's claim that such screens "screen out" "out of phase" musical information.  The technology in the design seems superlative but I just can't get past the claim re out of phase information and the midrange and tweeter covers.  What could possibly be the science behind this claim?  It just seems like its putting a halloween moustache on the mona lisa given the fact that the company is generally a technology driven company.

Talking to Audiotroy several times has allowed me to see him from a different perspective. Based on our conversations I don’t see him as arrogant, but someone that has a lot of knowledge and wants to expand his customer base. He never once suggested I sell my speakers, but he has provided several relatively inexpensive ways to improve my current system. I take everything Audiogon members post with a grain of salt, including Audiotroy. I use my own ears to decide what components to purchase.

Bingo! He tries constantly here to expand his customer base. Sell, sell, sell. I really like the idea of the cage match between he and Bo. With any kind of luck, we could be rid of two pompous blowhards.
