I recently upgraded the amplifier for my Paradigm Reference Studio 100s (v5.1) to a Musical Fidelity M6si and I (and the family) have loved the results. Much more weight and detail in the music. Part of the attraction of the Paradigms are their looks (gloss black and curved cabinet with reasonable height - leaving the tweeter in line with ears at sitting level). It was a consideration in my 2012 decision to purchase them that an earlier model was a recommended component in Stereophile (but has since dropped out). I noticed Paradigm have now released the Persona series and to me they look stunning (particularly the active 9H and passive 7F). Has anyone heard them and willing to comment on their experience. Also, any reason I don't see more reviews of Paradigm products given I gather (from here in Australia) they are a relatively large and sophisticated North American (Canadian) producer. Cheers.
