The speakers had developed a lot in the last decades. Today they are featuring some advanced technologies and they are capable of brining a powerful and high quality sound, even in small dimensions. There are many big producers on the market, and some of the big names are: Creative, JBL, Harman Kardon, Altec Lansing, Logitech, Bose and also Paradigm. So this is what we are going to discuss about today: the Paradigm speakers.

The company is mostly famous in the United States of America and Canada, but it is also selling it’s products all over the world. You can buy the Paradigm speakers from local retailers or from many websites that are offering shipping right to your home. The company has an experience of over twenty five years and it received many awards during this time. It is actually the only company to be rated number one in price / value for 19 times, by the Inside Track publication. So with all of these advantages, you can be sure that when buying a Paradigm product you will have the good quality that you are looking for. With good reviews and many awards, the Paradigm speakers can be the best choice for even the most critical listeners.

The categories of speakers offered by the company are: front speakers, center channels, surrounds, subwoofers, in-wall and in-ceiling and also outdoor or marine speakers. Now let’s take some of the Paradigm speakers and discuss more about them. By visiting the site of the company, you will have the opportunity to find all the useful information about all the company’s speakers, along with many images, so you can make an idea of them. Another cool feature of the site is that you can take off the grills from a speakers, or put them back just by a click of a button. You will see both of the images, and imagine how it would look best in your room. Some people are preferring to leave the grills on and to have a more elegant design, but others prefer to take them off, to see all the drivers of the speaker and to have a more aggressive look. Each model of speakers comes in different finishes, and this is another cool feature of the site. Just by clicking one of the finishes, the image of the speakers will change, so you can get an idea of what color to choose. For example the Signature S1 front speakers have three finishes to choose from: cherry, natural maple or piano black.

Since we began talking about the Signature S1 speaker, let’s talk more about it. It is an elegant speaker which is quite small and compact so you can easily place it in your bookshelf, or on your desk next to the computer. It has dimensions of 27.0 cm H x 17.0 cm W x 22.0 cm D ( 10-5/8 in x 6-11/16 in x 8-11/16 in) and a weight of 5.7 kg (12.5 lbs). The speaker is quite powerful for this size, being able to support an amplified power of up to 175 watts. The frequency response is between 65 hz and 45.000 hz, meaning that it will give both a deep bass and some clear high sounds. Actually the speaker has 2 drivers: a 1 inch high frequency driver with die-cast enclosure and integrated heatsink chassis and a 6 inch bass / midrange driver with super-neodymium ring magnet and cobalt infused pure aluminium cone. You can buy two of these speakers and use them as stereo speakers, but you can also combine it with other components and make a sound system. On the site you will also see which products you can combine each speaker with.

Now let’s move on to the center channels category and choose a product from the Milenia Series. We’ll choose the Milenia 30 speaker. This speaker will have a simple and elegant design with the grill on, and will also look quite nice without the grill, revealing its 5 drivers. There is one small (1 inch) high frequency driver , two 5 inch bass / midrange drivers and also two 5 inch bass drivers. So even though the center channel is specialised in the high frequency sounds, this one will also give you some bass, in case you want to use it individually. Actually the frequency response is between 110 hertz and 20.000 hertz. So you can use it alone, but it will probably be much better to combine it with a subwoofer and some satellite speakers, and to make a great surround sound system. The suitable amplifier power range is between 15 and 200 watts while the maximum input power is 130 watts. It has dimensions of 90.0 cm H x 15.1 cm W x 13.7 cm D (35-7/16 in x 5-15/16 in x 5-3/8 in) and a weight of 8 kg (17.6 lbs). You can see that the height is really big, but don’t worry because you will place it horizontally, so it won’t be in danger of being knocked over by kids.

Now let’s discuss about a different kind of speaker, a marine speaker from Paradigm company. The speakers in this category are specially designed to resist on excessive moisture, UV rays, corrosive salt spray, fog, fluctuations of temperature, snow or wind. So they make the perfect speakers to be used on the sea and ocean. You can use them both for your house on the beach or for your boat or yacht. One model is the AMS 150 RX. It has a 20 cm (7 inch) diameter and can be mounted in walls or in ceilings. It has a suitable amplifier power range of 15 – 100 watts and a maximum input power of 80 watts, meaning that it is quite powerful, and if you have more of these speakers you can easily throw a big party on your boat. The frequency response is between 60 hz and 22.000 hz, so you won’t even need a subwoofer, because this speaker will give you quite a nice bass.

So here were some of the models of Paradigm speakers. Of course there are many more, and you can discover all of them on the company’s site and in some retail stores. So if you are using or used some Paradigm speakers, share your opinions with us, whether they are positive or negative reviews.

Today we’re taking a look at some spiffy studio loudspeakers coming from Paradigm Electronics, a Canadian manufacturer. OK, you’ve never heard about these guys, but it looks like they really bring sort of a paradigm shift with their latest Reference Studio models.

According to Paradigm, their Reference Studio speakers set an all-new performance benchmark in high-end sound. Embracing They are specifically built to offer the highest standard of technological excellence, providing breathtaking musical reproduction that captures the very essence of the original performance. Yup, we’ve heard that one before, maybe one too many times, so let’s what really sets these speakers apart from the rest.

The Reference Studio loudspeakers come equipped with advanced mineral-filled polypropylene bass cones in order to control the lower frequencies with tight, exceptionally well-defined low-frequency response. Furthermore, the S-PAL (Satin-Anodized Pure-Aluminum) midrange and bass/midrange cones yield improved sonic performance through enhanced rigidity. Gold-anodized solid-aluminum phase plugs were favored over the average dust caps, promoting extended frequency response and increase air flow for excellent power handling and phase response.

As far as enclosures are concerned, the Reference Studio loudspeakers integrate a high-pressure die-cast aluminum chassis. This exceptionally rigid design eliminates mechanical flexing and ringing while providing a heatsink for superior power handling.

If you want to know more details on the actual technology and some tech specs about the Paradigm Reference Studio loudspeakers, check out the official page. If you’re looking to buy these, you might be able to order them from several e-tailers for about 2 grands a couple.
