Paradigm persona vs. Monitor audio Platinum

I wanted to like the Monitor Audio Platinum series.  I listened to the huge tall ones along with the next one down which is I think the 300.  They sounded very very dark to me on classical music.  Could have been the room or setup but this was with super electronics (D'agostino).  I was impressed in the showroom with the Paradigm Persona 9H but couldn't get it to work in my room.  They measure only slightly tipped up in my room but for the life of me I couldn't get that tamed.  The did seem ruthlessly revealing.  Ended up with Magnepan 20.7's - I'm a detail freak who listens to mostly classical and I've been astounded at the Magnepans including their deep bass, no subwoofer required for me.

Probably the reason they sounded dark is because whoever was showing them was using them with not very good cable. MIT and transparent are the worst cables out there they make everything sound dead and dark. Those boxes screw up everything. I have the Platinum 200 and I use OCC single crystal wire which has been shown to be the best wire out there for audio over the last 40 years because there's no Crystal barriers in The wire. Ofc wire has 300 little fractures in it for every foot OCC has none in 700 ft.

And you can set those paradigm up anyway you like Troy and they're still going to be bright sounding. That's the characteristic of beryllium and you can't do anything about it to change it.
