Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2

Sciencecop
 You say you have the 9h and go on to explain what you don't like about them. I would appreciate knowing how long you've had them in your system and how long it took you to notice the deficiencies in them, whats your room size, seating distance  speaker placement, etc. I heard the speakers well out into a well treated room at least 8' from any reflective surface and they thrived, try putting them on the long wall at least 5' out and see if that smooths things out for you. Soo much money< I would keep at it if I was you.

Sciencecop what is your point here?

audiotroy  It is you who typically jump to any conversation involving Magico, or any other product you don’t sell, and quick to trash it (yea, good speakers but boring, blah blah). When someone puts you on the spot and call out your BS (clearly you don’t even understand the products you sell), you call out foul. Where do you get off? This and many other conversations would have been much more pleasant if you were not part of them. And if you must, you would be much more effective if you don’t mention any products you don’t sell. Try it, it will do us all good.

Mheinze, please grow up.

If you read any of the above posts we said the following about Magicos that we have heard at Axpona

The Magicos are a great example of a extraordinary conventional loudspeaker with a very inert cabinet, a Beryillium tweeter and a graphene based midrange driver. Parts and build quality on the Magico are as good as it gets.

We have heard the Magicos for years at shows and at a few dealers they are much more netural than the Personas, at Axpona we heard many Magio setups with very expensive electronics and nearly every setup the speakers were not involving.

The big Magico M6 with dual subs and Dagastino gear has a huge sense of scale but failed to sound musical.

The only setup that we thought was actually quite good was the S3 with the new Classe gear, and this setup was musical with a nice sense of clarity and a good soundstage.

Last one hardly seems like we are trashing them does it? The Classe Magico setup was indeed very good sounding and we thought that setup was in many ways far more enjoyable then the really expensive setups at the show.

As per understanding the products we sell we certaintly do. The new Golden Ear Tritron 1R use DSP in their bass and the speakers sound good.  The Personas sound very good and can frankly sound amazing if setup correctly. 

We care that the DSP room correction can make the speakers sound fantastic in rooms that a speaker with big bass generally would work. 

We do not hear the problems that Sciencecop hears. 

Most people don' t care if their speakers use first order or second order slopes or thrid order or fourth. 

Other than on these boards when in a discussion you can point out the reason why many designers  dont make first order loudspeakers, and the reason why others do. 

The fact that you as a consumer didn't buy your loudspeakers based on their crossover slope you bought them because they moved you when playing music it is that simple. 

Meinze we get people all the time contacting us and finding validity in what we say. 

Did we say the Magicos aren't good and the Paradigms are better no we didn't we gave a pretty accurate summation of our findings.
