Paradigm and Anthem @ Axpona 2017
Paradigm and Anthem were featured at Axpona in conjunction with a dealer in the Chicago area, Saturday Audio Exchange. There were two systems that were demonstrated. One featured the
Paradigm Persona 9H loudspeakers and an
Anthem STR integrated amplifier fed by a USB B input from a computer. Despite the nature of a large meeting room's acoustic qualities, the 9H's and the STR adapted the room acoustics and tamed the music for the listener to reveal what the speakers and amplifier to deliver the pure sound they create.
At the other end of the room there was an
Anthem AVM60 and a pair of
M1 mono blocks playing the
Persona "B" book shelf speakers. Because of the nature of the room. the "B" speakers had an image that was hard to understand and it was shifted off to one side. With the ARC enabled, the image shifted into a natural center based presentation with a wide stage. It was quite dramatic as it was demonstrated!
