Paradigm Persona 3 vs 5 vs Monitor Audio If you can afford the 5, get the 5. However the 3 is 80% as good for a lot less money. Diminishing returns. When you step up to the 7F, you reverse that curve and I think you get a TON more speaker for only 7 grand more.I have spent a tremendou... | |
Best speakers for $300/pr Hands down Paradigm Monitor SE Atoms. Go audition them and I dare you to disagree. | |
$1,000 speakers for rock music? The $900/pr Paradigm Monitor SE towers. They’re unreal. Go listen to them. The UniFi UF5 from elac a great choice too, but very power hungry and not nearly as open and engaging as the Paradigm. | |
Bass response everywhere but at listening position? Top vs bottom posts will not make a difference in bass output. What likely happened is that one of the jumpers on one of the speakers was probably not connected to the bass portion of the speaker terminals, and when you moved them down, it incide... | |
Focal Aria speaker Lots of love for them. | |
WHAT HAPPENED TO SONUS FABER? The Venere was made in China. The new Sonetto speakers which replace them are FANTASTIC. The lowest end speaker line they have now is the Sonetto and those are made in Italy. Let’s not spread inaccurate information. | |
Paradigm Personas: A First Listen Dave_b: some people aren’t so insecure that they need to have a less known brand of speakers to feel good. There is absolutely no question that the Personas are incredible speakers that ACTUALLY beat out others at their price point and higher. Tha... | |
Paradigm Personas: A First Listen If they make your ears hurt, you heard a bad setup. | |
Klipsch Palladium P39F and Probably the Entire line Major issue! So uhh.... did you contact Klipsch, or the dealer you purchased them from?Very few people own these speakers. | |
Focal Aria 936 / Elac Adante AF-61 / Von Schweikert VR-33 , impressions, thoughts? If you don't like the way they sound, positioning and room acoustics/treatment is your problem. Break in will barely change the sound after the first 10 hours or so. The main "break in" that happens is the speakers coming up to room temperature ... | |
Focal Aria 936 / Elac Adante AF-61 / Von Schweikert VR-33 , impressions, thoughts? Get at least 100 hours on them. They should also be pointed almost straight out, barely any toe in at all. | |
Focal Sopra No 2 vs Magico A3 Have you heard the Persona 3F? A hilariously under priced speaker. Most people can’t get them set up right, so keep that in mind if you hear them and they sound bright.Also, for $12k I’d suggest the Kanta no3 over the Sopra no2. | |
ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict? I would highly recommend the emerald physics over the Adantes. If a “famous designer” wasn’t behind the Adantes, no one would look twice at them. | |
The Question,Tekton Pendragons or Focal 1028 BE Your dealer took you to lunch for a pair of 936’s? | |
Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3 Completely agree with Audiotroy about sopras vs kef vs B&w.As far as bass lacking with Sopra 3, it had to be the room, or the placement of the speakers in said room. I will admit some of the Focal speakers with bigger 8+ inch woofers can be ha... |
