Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2


These speakers are roughly in the same ballpark of price and going for a detailed sound. Anyone compare 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. 


" Interesting most Magico demos speakers sound boring."

You didn't use to think that when you worked for SBS
Sciencecop many listening rooms have an abundance of absortave materials which can smooth out perceived brightness. 

Here is the Stereophile measurements of the Magico S5 note the large suck out in the top end

It looks like neither speaker is flat.

 So you can have a top end that in a real listening room may sound balanced the Persona or one which may sound dull the Magico.
