@smodtactical; So your dealer was mistaken when he said you would not like the sound of the Yamaha NS 5000 if you liked the Paradigm Persona 9H. My dad heard the Persona 3F and then the Yamaha NS 5000 and preferred the Yamaha a little bit more (Yamaha is 50% more expensive speaker). He went to the same dealer as you.
Looking forward to reading your impressions. I would be interested in what you thought of the the imaging, the separation and laying of instruments. Only review that was not so positive view on the NS 5000 was the Soundstage.com Australia reviewer who said the sound seemed tied to the speakers baffle. However, he was contradicted next month by his colleague who basically said the speaker was amazing.
My dad told me that the NS 5000 would be too big for my upstairs office. What do you think at low to mid volume levels?
I have a bigger room downstairs which I am thinking either the Yamaha or Persona 9H. Leaning more towards the 9H for the downstairs since it is bigger and heavier and harder for a toddler to mess around with.
