March 2019 http://bit.ly/2HLvYi2 "The Paradigm Persona 5F is easily one of the best performing speakers I've heard. It is a "perfect 10" on most elements of sound that music lovers and audiophiles alike care about most: soundstage, neutrality, refinement, impact, and cohesion." - Myron Ho October 2017 http://bit.ly/2kfp3CZ [Translated from French] "...a hearing with the help of these Personas is a very pleasant experience and I would not have believed, at the outset, that they could have responded as well. Beyond the shadow of a doubt, a beautiful success of Paradigm." - Benoit Varin September 2018 http://bit.ly/2CEaMHZ "Throughout my time with the Persona 5Fs, their sound quality repeatedly sidetracked me from my job of critical analysis. Often, I planned to only sample an album or work but found I couldn't resist the temptation to enjoy the whole thing." - Kalman Rubinson October 2018 http://bit.ly/2Oikgds "The Paradigm Persona 3F sounds big - sound comes off the speaker wide and deep. The dispersion is excellent, voices are articulate and instruments tonally believable. It makes me wonder what the Persona 5, 7 or even 9H would improve upon!?" - Piero Gabucci October 2017 http://bit.ly/2kgrGUZ "The midrange frequencies of the 5F speakers are easily the best of any speaker I have had in my home thus far. I cannot imagine a loudspeaker with more midrange clarity; in this range the Persona 5F were superb. The bass felt natural and not boosted or otherwise disconnected from the rest of the sound. It was powerful when it needed to be and extended quite deeply for a tower speaker of its size." - James Larson January 2020 http://bit.ly/370V1GJ "The list of things we loved about Persona 5F starts with the visual appearance. Now, we know that terms "impeccable craftmanship" or "dazzling design" are clichés but there's no better way to describe their appearance. Also, their ability to blend into any environment is simply amazing. And this is just the beginning. 5F's performance is its greatest highlight. " - James Longman November 2019 http://bit.ly/33MnO0a "Super-coherent and articulate, very highly resolving, decidedly uncolored, and extremely transparent, the Persona B's provide an overall performance not seen before in this price class." - Christiaan Punter November 2018 http://bit.ly/2Pcz9Ds "After months of listening to Paradigm's newest musical spaceships, we'd be lying if we didn't say that we now share an odd kinship with Ferrari owners. With a sprawling stereo image, pristine audio clarity and detail, all combined with the delicate balance of a world-class rock climber, the Persona B are easily the best bookshelf speakers this reviewer has ever heard." - Parker Hall

“The Paradigm Persona 3F sounds big – sound comes
off the speaker wide and deep. The dispersion is ex-
cellent, voices are articulate and instruments tonally be-
lievable. It makes me wonder what the Persona 5, 7 or
even 9H would improve upon!?”
