Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2

Mheinze you have absolutely no idea how dsp works.

First the eq only affects the bass freqencies.

Secondly at wavelengths as long as bass frequencies a tiny delay in those frequencies can actually help create a waveform which the bass is actually in time with other drivers at the listening position.

Third by removing peaks and dips in the lower frequencies the entire speaker sounds better.

A brittle bright configuration means something was not matched correctly.

Where did you hear a set of 9H and what were they driving the speakers with?

I’m sure he hasn’t even been in the same room as a pair, or maybe popped into a room at a show and didn’t even sit in front of them.  

Just look at the measurements of their tweeter/midrange arrangements (I know it’s the 5F, but the top configuration is the same).

These speakers are 5db up, and climbing, above 6KHz. Someone on another forum said that If you suffer high frq. hearing loss, that may not be a problem for you. But if you can still hear, and a Persona configuration didn’t sound bright and brittle to you it basically “means that something was not matched correctly” 😉

@audiotroy  @contuzzi thanks for your insights guys.I enjoyed the 7F and would really like to hear the 9H. But I was blown away by the Magico M2 and want to hear the S3 Mk2.

A dealer over on audioshark said the persona series tweeter would just 'tear your ear off' with its brightness. I didn't find this with the 7F.. paired with moon gear. So I guess this is more of a matching issue ?

@nabcs which Magicos did you hear ?

Was that dealer M. Boviard from Sun Coast a Magico dealer?

Where did you hear the M2 and what was the system? 

Vs 

The Persona 7s

Interesting most Magico demos speakers sound boring. 

A3 on AVM and Nordost sounded horribly bright.
