davidz:Wow! Congrats on the speakers arriving safe and sound!  I'm so glad to read that you are enjoying your music through them.  My guess is that as the speakers break in, or that you learn to notice more details, they will sound better and bett... 
LS50s on desktop. What stand/base?
I recommend the  IsoAcoustics ISO-L8R155.  They provide two height options, and two tilt options.  Three tilt options if you turn them around and tilt the speakers down.  They are attractive, go to together in a jiffy, and let you fiddle with heig...

With all respect, how on earth can anyone advise you on how to sell speakers that you have never heard? I submit that your claim of "I don’t want to risk getting attached" as an excuse for not listening to them will be read by many as: "I tried to...

It seems that year after year we hear of new speaker diaphragm materials with near magical properties. We never hear of new crossover topologies with near magical properties.Now I’m all for superlative diaphragm and motor technologies, but should ... 
Which would be better, the Paradigm Persona 3Fs or the Dynaudio Focus 60 XD speakers?
Ah, but my question revolves around whether a digital crossover can provide a superior response to speakers with hard wired crossovers yet possessing superlative driver materials.  Surely the physical components in a typical crossover circuit will...

contuzzi:  Ah!  Thanks for the information!  I was pressing the point because I think it odd that, with all the attention to detail evident in the Persona lineup, the designers would use a downward firing port without some sort of plinth to ensure... 
Paradigm Personas: A First Listen
Thanks for the replies.  My first assumption too was that any port would be downward firing.  Where else could it be?  contuzzi: with all respect, may I ask how you know the port is in the bottom?  Have you actually looked at the bottom of a 3F an... 
Paradigm Personas: A First Listen
The Persona web site states that the 3Fs are a bass reflex design.  Is this correct?  I ask because a styling element running through out the Persona range is a notch in the bottom rear of the cabinet, I assume to allow a port to vent to the outsi...
