ABOUT PARADIGM
In
the
early 1980s Paradigm was just
an
idea in
the
minds
of
a couple
of
twenty-somethings
who
loved music. Unlike today,there was no
225,000 square-footfactory, no 36,000-cu.-ft.on-site anechoic measurement chamber,
just
a desire
to
make really 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 YOUR MILLENIA CT
Your Millenia
CT
is
a high-end design loaded
with
superior technology.
In
other words
...
it's
got
loads
of
very cool stuffyou

find in any
other
compact audio system. For those
who
salivate over technical details, we've included
Tech

skinny on
why
your system sounds
so
good!
The difference
the
Millenia
CT
will make
to
your music, movies and gaming can't be
put
into
words,
but
you'll hear
it
and you'll feel it. It's
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
guarantee you
won't
be able
to
keep
that
difference a secret. And we hope you don't.Spread the word.Talk
about
your Paradigms.
BRAG
about
them.
Play
them
and let others listen.We're all different and
our
sound should reflect that.Some
of
us
like music,
others love movies, others are gaming enthusiasts and others enjoy all
of
that. No
matter
who
you are,
or
where you live,
what
you like,
or
what
you do,
we
want
to
be The Official Sound
of
You™.
