The following reviewer has some interesting observations on how to connect the speaker wire to the Persona’s (see section CONNECTION METHOD).

The reviewer was also surprised that the Persona sounded very good with a Bryston 4B3. I thought it would have been too neutral. He did prefer a Class A amp more. I am going to take a second listen to the 3F with the Benchmark AHB2 that I now own. I will get 1 more of these amps (for mono block setup) before I go for a local demo. The AHB2 is similar to the Bryston 4B3.
The fact that the 3F does not go too low is actually a great feature for me and the room I am looking to place them in. The 5F has too much bass for my room. I heard the 5F with the neutral sounding SimAudio 860a, I liked that demp a lot. So maybe neutral amps are not too bad with the Persona. The poster above, @cdamiller5, with the SimAudio 760a pairing is also giving me confidence on trying a neutral amp with the Persona,.
