Centre Speaker Paradigm CC-300
Canada-based Paradigm manufactures practically all the individual parts for the CC-300, which sandwiches a 1-inch dome tweeter between a pair of 6-1/2-inch clear-plastic cone woofers.

Subwoofer Paradigm DSP-3200 v2
To say that the appearance of Paradigm DSP-3200 v.2 solid and credible, to say nothing. Cabinet in finishing the "black ash" is made from a special inert material such as MDF, eliminates unwanted resonances and vibrations, as well as promoting the development of clean and accurate bass.

Subwoofer Paradigm DSP-3400
Compared with competitors, the Paradigm subwoofer seems to be a real giant. And it is not surprising, because its body is designed to install a 14-inch (355 mm) driver in it. This, of course, is not a record for active subs, but the device can inspire unintentional respect only by its appearance. The...

Bookshelf speakers Paradigm Monitor 5 v.4
These Canadian monitors can't be called bookshelf - what kind of shelf is needed for 60 cm of height and over 12 kg of weight! It is better to fork out for quality racks.

Subwoofer Paradigm PS-1000
A huge Canadian sub PS-1000 has not only the record sizes and mass, but, perhaps, the most curious design. First of all, an acoustic design "bandpass" was used: internal volume of the body is divided into two compartments by a partition, where a 255mm driver is fixed; the bigger one among the compartments,...
