Paradigm 3f, KEF reference 3, Monitor Audio PL300II
@jtgofish I wanted to get the Yamaha NS 5000 for my small upstairs room but I realized the bass was too strong and I did not want to use any DSP. So now I have the Yamaha NS 5000 and the Paradigm Persona 9H facing off in competition for my larger ... 
What are you streaming tonight?
Black Pumas - Black Pumas Only 2 listens so far and I think it is already my second favorite 2019 release. Heard the song "OCT 33" on FM radio yesterday and discovered a new gem album. 
Most annoying song, period.
@rockysantoro I was about to play "Frampton Comes Alive" last night on Tidal  and I literally said to myself, nah too annoying.@jacksky When I was planting trees up in northern Canada close to 30 years ago I decide to serenade the rest of the tree... 
Paradigm Persona the right source matters!
@trudat I am actually taking these Persona threads seriously since I am looking to get a DAC to pair well with the 3F or 9H.  My local dealers are not well versed in the Persona compared to other speakers they carry. So these discussions by a Pers... 
Paradigm speakers

Paradigm Persona the right source matters!
This thread should be fun when the posse is rounded up.  
Vimberg has a bookshelf coming out
I wonder how far into a room the Amea has to be placed. This is a 3 way design with a rear firing woofer.The ceramic version of the Amea is in the ball park price range of the TAD ME1, The ME1 is an amazing monitor speaker (the best I have heard). 
B&W - THE Nautilus.
If you like the Nautilus why not demo the latest derivations of these, Vivid Giya Series 2 or Kaya 90. The Kaya is under 30K new.I did not notice the poster above mentioned Vivid. I have demoed the Kaya 90 and it is a very good speaker.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
This thread sure could use a LIKE button for each post. So much valuable DATA just not being used to their full potential. Come on Audiogon step it up with some new features to make this DATA into INFORMATION for users. 
Amps with meters ...
Does a digital meter, like on the Anthem STR count?

Paradigm Personas: A First Listen
@urbie19 Are the Monitor Audio also great with animal sounds? 
DAC plus Preamp or DAC-Preamp or DAC-Volume Control ?
@reverendo The Mola Mola Makua is an excellent option and maybe a real superstar. I have been participating on a thread on Computer Audiophile about the Makua for maybe 3 years now. We were all waiting for the Makua DAC module and/or the Tambaqui ... 
Paradigm Persona 3 vs 5 vs Monitor Audio
