Wow! Thanks for the great feedback and I will be sure to run the ARC. I'm dealing with Maxium Audio here in Tampa. I've become friends with their home theater guru. He just went to Canada this past week to see the production facility. He was talking about meeting some guys from NY, who have been up and running with the Persona line. Sounds like possibly one of you guys. He bought a pair for himself. He's dedicated his life to the electronics profession, and said these are the best speakers he's heard and compared them to Rockports and some of the brand's you mentioned. Small world! His name was Gabe. Shot in the dark. Really getting even more excited hearing these accolaids. Thanks a bunch.
Paradigm Speakers
Waiting on my new Paradigm Persona 9F speakers to arrive next week. I'll be moving my Paradigm signature 8 series to another room. They will be overkill for the bedroom. After seeing and hearing the new Persona line. I decided life is short and they are the nicest looking and sounding speakers that will last me the rest of my life. Also along with the White floors and center channel, I purchased their book shelves in White. Expensive, but relatively inepensive for what Paradigm is delivering and equal or better than speakers in the 200k range. They really out did themselves this time around. The Signature 8 series are only 2 years old. Contemplating selling them, only because the are overkill for the bedroom.
