My upgradeitis to replace my Beethovens has been the R107/2, Revel f52, salon 1, salon 2, VA Strauss, and Usher BE-20 DMD's all sold and I was reaching for my wallet to buy the 7f when my dealer recommended I wait til I can swing the 9h since my room's a bit problematic in the bass. There's speakers that are really good then there's speakers that'll make you weep. I heard the 7f with some care put into set up with the new Anthem separates and I was hooked. My Beethoven's measure like crap and I really enjoy those to tho' so don't take my word.

As a previous three time Paradigm owner the Persona 9H is the best Paradigm I’ve heard and still as annoying for me to listen to. I can’t listen to speakers with screwy time and phase characteristics regardless of their price. For the cost of your choices I’d go for Vandersteen Treo CTs $9K /pr. and his Sub 9s $19K /pr. Spend a few days listening to the Treo’s, disregarding their bass extension, then back to your current choices and you should be able to hear the rightness of the time and phase aspect. Been using sealed subs since the mid eighties. The rooms have always dictated their location and its never been in or next to the main speakers. |
sciencecop midrange, is typically the frequency range between 300Hz and 5,000Hz. 400 hz is the beginning of midrange...not "the middle". DSP in 9H only corrects bass region (until 200 hz). |
