Looking for input: Best material for mid range cone
Driver material is only one part of the equation in a speaker.  Paradigm uses Beryllium in our Flagship Persona Series Speakers.  Here's a couple of great, in depth videos about it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FXTLFOJlxg https://www.youtube.co...

Speaker recommendations 10 to 30k and no beryllium
Since you have Paradigm’s now, I’m not sure why you’re not considering Personas that have Beryllium - which are completely protected?  Short of your children taking a hammer to them, there’s no way to damage the tweeters or midranges.  The acousti... 
Paradigm Persona 3F paired with Parasound JC5 /JC2
Hello,Speakers generally tend to get all the glory or all the the blame. The Personas are a window to see into what’s in front of them and they will merely show you whether your gear and cables you have are warm or bright. Bill Solderholm at Stere... 
What is felt to be the best in wall speaker for a large den?
https://www.paradigm.com/en/architectural-custom-install Paradigm’s LCR’s are amazing. But all of their Elite in wall and in ceiling products have tremendous performance. The Pro’s are great as well. 100% made in their factory in Canada. You would... 
McIntosh 255 vs Parasound Halo A51 vs Anthem MCA 525
I would personally look at your preamp before the amp, especially because of the amps you’re considering. You will go farther in performance doing it this way than the latter. Look at Anthem’s AVM60. Just listening in stereo to a better preamp wit... 
Music in multiple rooms
https://www.anthemav.com/products-current/series=mdx-series/model=mdx-16/page=overview Depending on the number of sources you want, that would determine whether to use the 16 or the 8.  But, you can bridge the zones to have 200w/ch to each speaker...

AVR with Room Correction for Zone B / Output 2?
It’s not an AVR, but Anthem’s new Distribution Amps use their new ARC Genesis (Anthem Room Correction) Software per zone. There is an 8 zone MDX16 60w/ch x 16 at 8 ohms, 120w/ch x 16 at 4 ohms, or 200w/ch x 8 at 8 ohms Bridged for $3000 Retail and... 
Subwoofer Question
puppyt,avanti 1960 is spot on in his post and and particularly about ARC as it will not deal with the phase.  However, as an FYI and bit of a plug, many new subs from ML and Paradigm that use their new App Control capability will actually deal wit... 
Subwoofer Question
Have you, or are you able to, run the Anthem Room Correction software on your ML Sub (labeled PBK)?  If not, you haven’t maximized the potential of what that woofer can do.  Running the Room Correction will make a shocking improvement by helping i... 
Looking for great Amp for Martin Logan Prodigy woofers
theaudioman; Sorry, I missed the part where you gave your budget in your opening post, which would rule out the M-1’sOverall, I would say that you’re better off with one or a pair of better mono amps vs trying to run one amp on the highs and somet... 
Adding 5-channel amps to AV Receivers
It’s a huge benefit sonically to add a separate amp, but often it comes down to what needs to be passed over HDMI as that is generally the biggest impediment to AV Receivers and why it often requires upgrading or changing the receiver out before p...
