ABOUT
PARADIGM
In
the
early 1980s Paradigm was justan idea in
the
minds
of
a couple
of
twenty-somethings
who
loved music and wanted
to
share
the
love.
Unlike today,there was
no
225,000 square-foot factory,
no
36,000-cu.-ft.on-site anechoic measurement chamber,
just
adesire
to
make really
good
sounding speakers and sell
them
at a
down
to
earth price.Today Paradigm speakers are sold on six continents.We've been voted
the
#1
speaker brand
22
times* and fans scour
the
web
to
buy
used versions
of
our
original speakers.That should tell you something
about
the
quality
of
our
products. For more information visit
www.paradigm.com.
ABOUT

put
into
words,
but

an experience
that
takes you beyond
two
little speakers and a subwoofer
to
a place where you're absolutely lost in
the
experience.It's
the
Paradigm Difference.
We
guaranteeyou
won't
be able
to
keep

difference a secret.And
