Title: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: dnx on Feb 21, 2002 at 01:15 AM: Hi there,

Just want to ask if any of you guys use paradigms for a home theater setup. I'm a newbie to this hobby and I just want to know how good or bad these speakers are

Post by: Pep on Feb 21, 2002 at 03:54 AM: Dnx,

They're good "bang for the buck" speakers. A lot of people like them, and they're reviewed very well. Which models in particular were your intereseted in?

Also, Audio Den is the distributor for Paradigm here. Go to either their Araneta Ave or Commonwealth Ave store to give them a listen. Don't get intimidated by the lady at the Araneta branch, medyo "sales pushy" sya, just ignore her and talk to Eric.

BTW, most people on this board are B&W fans. I don't own either.

Post by: MeowPao on Feb 21, 2002 at 08:20 AM: Hi Dnx,

Pep is right, go over to Audio Den and check out the Paradigms there. I actually auditioned the Paradigm Monitor 7, coupled with a Denon 1602, and the speakers sound ok. :)
They have a couple of Monitor speakers on display at the Araneta Branch (I think all of what you want for a complete setup), and while you're at it, they have a number of Definitives around too.

Audio Den - Tel no. 7325173 Look for Eric Lopez Lim, the owner, and don't worry about the pushy people.. hehehe. ;)
If you decide to go to their Araneta showroom, just watch out for those 'kupit side-mirror' gang... hehe. Good Luck!
;)

my assessment, medyo harsh ang performance and monitor series but then dependent din yan sa room acoustics. the reference series is more refined. they are foward sounding speakers.

Post by: Lucky7 on Sep 05, 2006 at 02:34 AM: Paradigm speakers are forward sounding and the high is a bit harsh. Partner them with a warm amp like Nad or Arcam will give you an enjoyable and refined sound. I have a pair of atom in the bedroom with a 10 year old nad 7000 receiver and the sound is great.

I suggest that you request the shop if you can bring it Home for Audition. Iba tunog niyan sa shop at sa house. If you are not satisfied, just bring it back and request for the other model. But if the shop can bring all of it to your house and they would be there with it, the better.

Hi alx, sir singit lang po, if this are going to be your options, even if wala me paradigm, go definitely with the studio series. Why, because the are of a higher class than both monitor and B&W 600 series. If your options will be between monitor and 600's, id go with the B&W's. Both actually sound good and its really hard to choose if your going to use an ordinary reciever, but if used with a power amp, sigurado me na yung 600's will have an edge. I've tested it and that's why i have them in my room. ;D

but still, it will be based on ur type of music and kung anong klseng tunog ang gusto mo, warm, dynamic, bright neutral ect., check nyo sir din kung ano ba ung mga associated equipments nyo to be sure sa tunog na lalabas. ;D

Pls. take note:

Paradigm B&W

Signature Nautilus/800
Studio 700 series
Monitor 600 series

then goes on.....
;D ;D ;D

the studio 20 is the best bookshelf for me...the only one better is the S2 model...but still is from paradigm. BnW is a little bit overpriced. their nautilus bookshelf is no match for the studio 20 but the pricing is almost 3x. buy the studio 20 and pair it with the right amps and you will never look at any other speaker brands ever.

Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: dannielsimone on Jan 09, 2007 at 09:46 AM: Did not see this thread when shopping around for speakers. Here is my experience.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok.....Sight and sounds and the shop next door "paradigm" are both owned by the same guy. Very nice fellow. As you may know Sights and sounds sells B&W,Wharfdale, missions,Jamo, Onkyo, Denon, Pioneer, and the rest. Paradigm promotes (prodominantly) there own gear. (And with so much good competition out there I often wondered why) Today I wanted to demo the Wharfdale Evo2-30 the b&W 603 and the Paradigm monitor 7. Sights and sound manamanagmentment tried to ge the wharf evos but could not so it was a head to head only. So we hooked up the monitor 7 on channel A and B&W on channel B. Or was it the other way around...no matter. We listened first to 2 movie segments...Hero,and daredevil switching back and forth time and time again. And according to my wife it was no contest and in my opinion she was right hands down. But before rushing to final judgment we then played in stereo mode View from the vaultII. Now this has never been a favorite show of mine ( some good moments no doubt but in general I think it is fair at best) but the quality is so clean and crisp it is great for comparison. We jammed Help>Slip>Franklins at least three times....again jumping from channel A to B constantly. The clear winner was the monitor 7. I mean honestly....the B&W was not even in the same ball park. ( In the back of my mind I am now wondering if this fight was rigged). But both salesman I spoke to previously said the monitor 7 was a better speaker. Better than the B&W and the Wharfdale

And not for nothing...but I thought the Wharf diamond 9 series I demoed a few days back sounded better than the B&W as well.

dudes....just my humble opinion. Of all the demos thus far.....am most impressed with the monitor 7.

Also demoed the paradigm ADP 370 surround and must say they sounded real good.

Maybe this is why "paradigm" chooses to predominantly sell its own gear?

Now does any one out there have the experience to tell me what they think about this head to head and are you surprized about the results?

DISCUSS!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
am pretty tired as it has been a long long day but wanted to keep you updated in "real time".

As you know I am no Audiophile and would be hard pressed to find the vocabulary to compare the products I am demoing so please put up with my novice approach.

Firstly.....a few hic ups today. Not enough speaker wire in the truck. They were to bring a spool but they only brought 20 meters when needing 25-30 . ...oh well.....

Bought some speaker brackets from perfect vision which would have been great....but the back of the atoms/titans are a polymer type resin not wood so to drill a hole was not recommended. The ADP 370 surround dipole was also of the same polymer substance on the back so again could not drill( and the bracket that the 370 comes with is not adjustable ...having said that... Never should have bought brackets in the first place as Paradigm provides a swivel bracket mount upon request for both the atom and the titan..DUH! So no worries here. Must order them. Unfortunatley for me the Paradigm supplier is closed till Jan 2 or 3

Unwrap the Onkyo and the black one I ordered turned silver ....no biggy the demo will go on!!!!

Set up the speakers with the Atom as surrounds. The titan is just a bit too big as I feared with my limited head room and space.

Unwrapped the Denon receiver and thought it looked great. Powered it up and the sound was real clean with the few CD's I played.. At 110 watts per channel I thought this baby was about to blow me out of the water but must say....it did not. ( These are CD's that I and family had listened to many a time for many a year.). System sounded real good though. Went on to some movie clips to see how the surrounds would work and they did the trick. Speakers and receiver seemed to go pretty well with each other. Played a live Rock concert on DVD which is crystal clear in respect to quality. Like the 90 watt Denon I auditioned in the paradigm shop I slowly cranked it up to full volume. Was really surprised when the volume indicator stopped moving. I was looking for the additional 10 watts you had recommended to me before). Must also say that on the highest volume the speakers seemed to break up...got muddy...and I was huffing and puffing with what I hoped was Adrenalin. Unfortunately the Adrenalin was really ....well......dissapointment. My son looked at me and said....that didn't sound to good there dad. Asked myself Why were the monitor 7's whimpering out?

Decided to give the Onkyo a try. As soon as I put on the same DVD at low levels I noticed a major difference in the body and tone of the music. Raised the volume higher and higher and as I did the smile on my face got bigger and bigger. Cranked up the music to about 90% which was louder than the Denon at full volume and had no break up or muddy sound. Clear as a bell it was. Cranked up the volume to full and it sounded real good.....no distortion at all. Tossed on the "red hot Chili peppers live at Slain Castle and it was killer. Wife and kids came right out and said the Onkyo was better for them. In my opinuion it was also better for me...big time! Very different than the Denon...much more Alive and open....and more powerful to boot. Proceeded to listen to the same CD's as before of Usher (to test the sub) some rock, and even some pop (Madonna for the wife) and it was all kick Asssss take no prisoners.

Am happy with the Paradigm speakers and am pleased with the Onkyo. The combo to "my ears" seems to be the "REAL DEAL"!

dannielsimone,

I am now using cc370, and planning to ugrade my fronts, how much and where did you get your
monitor 7? why using atom? instead bookshelf of monitors? ty

Got my system at "paradigm" shop in Edsa Shang plaza fourth floor. This shop is next to "sights and sounds" another very good audiophile shop. Both stores are owned by victor Chua. The monitor 7 was about 35,00 a pair.

I used the Atoms because I made provisions (when I built my HT) to hide the speaker wire in the flooring and in the wall. Unfortunately the provision for the surround speaker is aproximately 6 feet behind the selected seating area( sofa) and there is a wine rack which would block the sound from a wall mounted dipole like the ADP370.. I need a prodtruding wall bracket! Onkly after about 8 weeks of researching surround speakers and almost choosing and paying for a dipole speaker I realized that the choice of a dipole is not the correct one. And as I do not want to look at exposed wires stretching 6 feert across the wall to the side surround position I chose the Atom as a direct firing surround that I can wall mount and swivel towards the listening position. The monitor bookshelf which "would have been " the perfect choice" for direct firing was just to obtrusive for wall mounting and my low ceiling. Even the Titan was also too obtrusive. My only choice was the Atom. In respect to HT and movies the Atom is working just fine. With respect to music ( Minor downside) It is not bad but one must be careful not to blow out the speaker with serious volumes when listening in "All Stereo" mode.

Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: accastil on Aug 15, 2007 at 12:57 AM: studio 40 v3 cost around 75T less 10 to 15% probably. they are available at shangrila plaza mall in edsa crossing. paired with rotel, they sound very good...just have it connected via speaker wires that somehow supresses the highs...ecosse 2.3 would be ideal.

im afraid this would be great with mid to large room sizes. for smaller rooms, it may produce lots of bass that is somehow hard to control.

i used to have solid rotel separates driving a pair of studio 20 v3s btw...
Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: bassman on Aug 15, 2007 at 02:13 AM: Ouch! way high and above my budget. Pero try ko audition if I could sacrifice sub.

Sir accastil, thanks for the info. very much appreciated.

I'm just puzzled with this "just have it connected via speaker wires that somehow supresses the highs...ecosse 2.3 would be ideal" and pardon my ignorance, could you please further explain.

Thanks!
Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: accastil on Aug 15, 2007 at 03:49 AM: bassman, for me the studio 20 v3 has more than enough bass that i could wish for. the studio 40 probably would be too much for me..but thats just me. judging from your aka(bassman), im not sure if the very strong bass of the 40's would satisfy you despite of...

digms have metal dome tweeters. they are known to sound somewhat sharp and piercing, especially during extended and/or loud listening sessions. for this matter, not all speaker wires might go well with it, unless youll be driving them with very lush sounding gears like exposure, nad, BnK, and the likes...

in the case of rotel, which somewhat provides quite a slight inclination to brightness, you definitely need a spkr wire to tame the sharp highs of the digms...for me, the ecosse 2.3 cables does this job very well.

give it a listen first and take it from there...who knows, your threshold for highs might not be as low as mine. goodluck bro.

for the price of the 40's, you may also consider auditioning the ff: vienna acoustics haydn signature, monitor audio gold signature 10, quad 11L or 12L, von schweikert VR1, LSA audio LSA1, sonus faber concertino or concerto, totem rainmaker, proac tablette reference 8 or 2000, spendor ls3/5a, dynaudio audience 42 or 52....bass from these babies may not be as plenty but the mids and highs would definitely leave you drooling :)

heard all of this except for the quad and LSA... personally, i like the vienna, monitor audio, von schweikert, totem, and sonus faber. im actually considering letting go off my sonus faber...maybe soon. id let u know if so.

I really want Sonus Faber, unfortunately I cant afford it thats why I settled to get B&W 602S3 with CHT10R or 12R. If Paradigm Studio 40 will suffice my bass need I may sacrifice the sub.

What model is your Sonus? Please inform me if you happen to sell your Sonus.

Post by: vtec3 on Aug 23, 2007 at 09:30 PM: Question po to the gurus:

1. Yung Paradigm Monitor Series is equivalent to B&W 600 Series?

2. What is the normal discount that a customer should get from a speaker store when paying in cash?

Tia ;)
Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: Philjonc on Aug 23, 2007 at 09:34 PM: 5%, 10%, sometimes 10% + 5% discount. ;)

Thanks Sir, what was offered to me kanina was 1k off the price from what quoted during my phone inquiry :( sabi kasi sa akin they don't offer disc over the phone tapos nung pumunta ako 1k discount lang ang binigay ???
Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: Philjonc on Aug 24, 2007 at 07:32 AM: they dont usually give discounts over the phone, they just give you a hint to lure you. now pagdating mo sa shop nila audition it and magusap na kayo for the discount. pero meron shop that I know nag bigay ng 10% + 5% discount over the phone.
anyway I think nakabili kana and I believe ok na price na nakuha mo. B&W west?

nope hindi pa ako nakabili ;) just auditioned both yesterday and still undecided which speakers to buy. Magka-level ba yung Paradigm Monitor Series and B&W 600 Series. Yan kasi sabi nung shop where I auditioned the Paradigm?

undecided pa din if ever I decided to buy Paradigm kung Monitor 7 floor standerr or Titan Monitor ang gamitin ko sa fronts. If i buy kasi the Titan Monitor need to buy pa a speaker stand (5,800 daw yung Paradigm Stand) vs difference of 10k if I decide to buy the Monitor 7 floorstander.
Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: Philjonc on Aug 24, 2007 at 10:45 AM: I believe magka-level monitor and 600 series, I once auditioned the new version of titan monitor in shangrila and for me I liked it more than 602s3, more musical, wide soundstage some call it gumagapang yung tunog speacially mids and hi's and I think its good for audio application.
do you already have and audio set-up? if so ,then you could use your L and R speakers for your front and buy a decent good sounding center nalang and the velodyne cht12 you are eyeing for, kasi for me buhay ng HT audio nasa front and sub. then pag di kana satisfied sa exisiting fronts mo thats the time bumili ka na ng new set of front speakers. :)

Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: Moks007 on Nov 03, 2007 at 10:00 PM: I just got the mini monitors and cc190 few days ago...Im very happy with these and also compared with B&W (dont know the model but almost same size sila) in Pardigm shangrila and to me the paradigms sounded better, more clarity to me..I brought my Day after tom disc and check the wave scene, same volume... I can hear the wave splashing better on the paradigm. The clarity of the water sprinkling (can hear the drips) is better. I dont hear this on the B&W, but of course B&W are great also, I just noticed this on the paradigm, so went ahead to get these. Service is also great and like to thank Paradigm shangrila...Im very satisfied..

First time I knew about these speakers is when they were playing spiderman 3 on the monitor 7's. They sounded really good, thats when I started to have interest in this brand..

hi kt,

tagal bago magka SARS ah. ok yan MS904 mo, nag-mass load ka ba sa "empty" chamber ? lagyan mo ng dry sand para gumanda ang bass - tight n deep. another possible tweak is changing internal wires to branded wires of your choice.

Paradigm speakers, especially the Reference Studio and Signature Series don't need 'SAND' loading. They where already pre-loaded with innert internal bracing, thicker enclosures that the weight of each piece or pair will speak for itself. ;D

I didn't noticed that... what I knew 6-1/2" is the min. size as in my St60 v2 but the v3 now 7". have you check it's specs sheet if it really say so? or maybe it's just visual but the actual measurement not same as your observation.

saan ka ba? are you in Pinas? mine got 2002 about $550.00 but now it's about $750.00 the v3 and powering it with B&K TX4430 200x3/c, one channel for center paradigm CC370 v3. I'm base in middleast.

paradigm is a wellknown brand ok din try para maiba naman.

ms904 has an empty chamber designed specifically for mass loading you can pour sand or pebbles directly. it will add depth and make the bass tighter.

It's the Studio 100 and UltraCube 12 that was connected at Denon AVR in the show room playing a demo disc of electronic drum set. Sound was very natural and the sub response was clear with it's stone like woofer and weight. Cost here, $650.00 for Sub and $1700.00 for studio 100 v5. ::)
IMHO, it's an indication that cone response will be fast than loose soround or woofer. Musical notes will sound crisp, sharp and not sloppy. Out from the box we find that way but after break-in time it loosen a bit to soften the sound. 8) ;D

i would go for studio20v3....only because my type of music doesnt involve much bass. if you are into disco, rock, pop...a floorstander would be better. a bookshelf with subwoofer is also a nice option...of all speakers ive owned, the digms posses the strongest bass. hope this helps

Post by: edwin on Dec 26, 2007 at 09:40 AM: If you guys are feeling the highs of your speakers to be at times harsh, get somebody to open up your speakers and replace the tweeter's capacitiors to Solen or Mundorf M-Caps (cheap but a worthwhile upgrade) or Mundorf Supreme if you heve the budget.

These will make the highs smoother, cleaner and more transparent. You might be shock on the transformation once you hear it, especially with the Mundorf Supreme. ;D ;D ;D

i am not sure kung na may bold enough na gagawa nyan sa paradigm speakers... parang sayang nmn, bago bago pa, mapapalitan na..

Even high end speakers are not really using the most expensive botique capacitors, or else the selling price of their speakers will be even more expensive.

For Solen, should cost you around Php300, for both speakers. Mundorf Supreme should be around Php1.5k, depending on the value of th caps.

The only concern, once you make this upgrade, warranty will be void.

I had already done this to almost all of the speakers that i previously owned, like Sonus Faber Concertino, Concerto, Concertino Home, Concerto Home, Totem Model 1, Epos ES11 and currently, my Traiangle Antal.

Here is a pic of an Epos ES11 that i sold an upgraded for the buyer. I had replaced the capacitors to Mundorf Supreme, Resistors to Mundorf and all internal wiring to Neotech PCOCC (99.999 pure copper).

Before the upgrade. See the cheap components used, although the caps are of ok quality (Bennic, polypropelyne caps, Solen is even a bit better).
(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/hendrix142002/P1030019.jpg)

After the upgrade. See the difference in size of the both the caps and resistor although both exhibit the same value.

Sorry, medyo out of topic na tayo.

Yes, it made a difference ( the best is the Mills, wirewound). With the old, cheap resistor, sakal ang tunog. After the resistor change, para bang nakahinga ang tunog. Ganuon din ang nangyari ng magpalit ako ng internal wirings.

I want to make it clear, that brightness means harshness, irregardless how strong or soft the output of the highs on a specific speaker system.

This is where the difference between a high end and a low to mid range speaker is. High end speakers use expensive drivers and components. The brightness that you hear will be replaced with "Refinement".

To somehow releive us the misery of hearing this irritating brightness, replacing the tweeters capacitors to those botique types, like Mundorf Supreme, will improve the performance of these cheaper driver/tweeters, thereby making it sound more revealing but with lesser distortion. You might be shocked that suddenly how come it as if you are listening now to a different (better) pair of speakers.

I would vouch for this. ;) Just received the 'upgraded' speakers from Edwin and it sounds fantastic! ;D - so that's what Mundorf could do! Last OT post na po ito - awesome Epos speakers bro! :-X To get back into topic, am using the Epos for my stereo audio set-up BUT I still maintain the great overall acoustics of Paradigm which I use for my HT rig. Very dependable... and I haven't experienced that brightess / harshness which was mentioned earlier in my P's. ;)
Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: accastil on Dec 30, 2007 at 07:23 AM: ah yes, digms could dish down to very impressive bass response for their size. harshness, not really but i would agree they do belong to the slightly bright sounding class inherently. finding the proper gears to match them with could tame it down.

in the case of tweaking like what the previous poster did, it would definitely have a change...and this change would depend on the tweak made.

generally, they are good speakers, especially from the reference line and up.

Post by: jpeg on Jan 10, 2008 at 03:13 PM: Would just like to ask Monitor line Version 5 users. Did the bass improve after break in period? I find the bass lacking on the big Titans. Though the mids are fantastic, the highs seem to over power the low frequencies. Would just like to know if there would be a great improvement after break in and how long is the break in period before the improvement?

Hope somebody could share their experience.

Thanks.

Post by: kpy555 on Jan 10, 2008 at 03:59 PM: Hi!

I have the Titan v.5 right now, but it's still new (3 days palang). Tried to set it up as a Large speaker in my Denon amp, and the bass seems ok for me. I will try it out playing songs with richer bass. I'll post my observations soon!
Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: jpeg on Jan 14, 2008 at 02:08 PM: Will be waiting for your observations. :)

Unfortunately, the Titan that I got had air coming out beside the driver. Might be the reason why there seems to be a lack of bass. The moulding around the driver isn't flush to the front panel. Am not sure if it's a factory defect, or it's just not designed well enough. ??? My other speakers have bolts around the driver itself. This one seems to have bolts just on the plastic moulding.

Anyway, I returned it to the dealer for repair or replacement. :( Didn't have the guts to tinker with it. :) Wala pang 1 mont old e. Sayang warranty. ;D

Will wait for your reviews on these speakers. :)

I was in the electronics show ( I think this is what its called ;D) in the Mandarin hotel and I went to this room playing Casino Royale bluray and using all paradigms, Man to me it sounded really awesome, it may be the hotel room, but man it really sounded like in a moviehouse. I think the center they were using was the 390, man its huge, and monitors 7 or 9, m not sure..but to me sounded really terrific. Anyway I'm not pro paradigm hehe, but have the lower ends and I love it hehe.. ;D

I think some dealers are getting smarter... In my location Studio Ref 60 v2 is still available, (which same I owned) but the price now is 30% more than 6 years ago. which is supposed to be 40-60 less now due to old model and new version already out in the market. >:( :(

slightly leaning on the bright side with a little bit of treble harshness but for the price youll pay, it would be hard to beat.

Sir Vic,

Paradigm, especially the Monitors, have high sensitivity. Onkyo 606 will deliver Paradigm Monitors efficiently will full of air of fine music and movie sounds.

depende po sa music na patutugtugin sir. rock, heavy jazz, disco may not be satisfying if heard with the atoms.

for vocals...maybe.

if budget would allow, buy something that would play anything the way you would want to hear it given your room size.

Well........I maybe wrong but I think either reveiver will work well with the mini moitor or titan monitor.????? Check out the exceprt from my home demo 2 years ago.

As you know I am no Audiophile and would be hard pressed to find the vocabulary to compare the products I am demoing so please put up with my novice approach.

Firstly.....a few hic ups today. Not enough speaker wire in the truck. They were to bring a spool but they only brought 20 meters when needing 25-30 . ...oh well.....

Unwrap the Onkyo and the black one I ordered turned silver ....no biggy the demo will go on!!!!

Set up the speakers with the Atom as surrounds. The titan is just a bit too big as I feared with my limited head room and space. The fronts were the monior 7.

Unwrapped the Denon receiver and thought it looked great. Powered it up and the sound was real clean with the few CD's I played.. At 110 watts per channel I thought this baby was about to blow me out of the water but must say....it did not. ( These are CD's that I and family had listened to many a time for many a year.). System sounded real good though. Went on to some movie clips to see how the surrounds would work and they did the trick. Speakers and receiver seemed to go pretty well with each other. Played a live Rock concert on DVD which is crystal clear in respect to quality. Like the 90 watt Denon I auditioned in the paradigm shop I slowly cranked it up. Was really surprised when the volume indicator stopped moving. Must also say that on the higher volume the speakers seemed to break up...got muddy.????.. I was huffing and puffing with what I hoped was Adrenalin. Unfortunately the Adrenalin was really ....well......dissapointment. My son looked at me and said....that didn't sound to good there dad.

Asked myself Why were the monitor 7's whimpering out?

Decided to give the Onkyo 803 a try. As soon as I put on the same DVD at low levels I noticed a major difference in the body and tone of the music. Raised the volume higher and higher and as I did the smile on my face got bigger and bigger. Cranked up the music to about 90% which was louder than the Denon at full volume and had no break up or muddy sound. Clear as a bell it was. Cranked up the volume to full and it sounded real good.....no distortion at all. Tossed on the "red hot Chili peppers live at Slain Castle and it was killer. Wife and kids came right out and said the Onkyo was better for them. In my opinuion it was also better for me...big time! Very different than the Denon...much more Alive and open....and more powerful to boot. Proceeded to listen to the same CD's as before of Usher (to test the sub) some rock, and even some pop (Madonna for the wife) and it was all kick Asssss take no prisoners.

Am happy with the Paradigm speakers and am pleased with the Onkyo. The combo to "my ears" seems to be the "REAL DEAL"!

So....... I got all my gear from sights n sounds. They were great in all levels of the demo.

Hope this helps.

Post by: bl@zik3n on Sep 10, 2009 at 03:59 AM: Paradigm's New SE Series Speakers

Like the award-winning and ever popular Monitor Series, the SE line will boast Paradigm’s SuperDrive technology, which combines very high efficiency with very high output and ultra-low distortion. This results in top-level performance from the Special Edition line regardless of amplification. The drivers represent a best of breed hybrid mix that includes high frequency drivers from the Paradigm Monitor Series and mineral-filled polypropylene bass/midrange drivers handed down right from the Paradigm Reference Studio Series. Both the SE 1 bookshelf and SE 3 floorstanding boast the benefits of an aluminum midrange including remarkable clarity, superb extended bass response and elimination of unwanted resonance and distortion.

Aesthetically speaking, the Paradigm SE series presents a system with clean lines, soft edges and general design characteristics seamlessly integrated into the home décor. With a reasonable footprint, this collection provides real wood veneer finishes for customers seeking sophisticated appearance at a competitive price.

I'm also a paradigm owner.... :D what I knew it has 5 year warranty.. ::) I got problem with my first pair (ref60) which was more than a year old. I brought to service center for repair but still not happy with result, the dealer replace the pair with new pair... ;D ;D ;D
Actually, the problem happened when I connected to Adcom 555 II power amp, both the amp & speaker got busted... >:( >:( >:( even my friend tech couldn't explain why, but I suspected the problem started from the amp. ::)

the prices seems a lot cheaper than v.4, Canadian made pa din kya o China na din like B&W 600s and CM's?
mga magkano kya introductory price nito dito sa atin? marami na naman magkaka SARS dito malamang..hehe

US FMV pricing for individual Paradigm Studio v.5 models is as follows, each:

* Studio 10: $399

Wow John, that's very super mahal eh cos base on early last year 2009 the Studio 10 SRP was $399 i.e. around P18,000+. But if our local stores selling at 33k that's way toooo high eh. Hope the prices will go down a bit pa... :-\

Are you sure with this pricing? According to this article:

http://www.goodsound.com/equipment/paradigm_studio10_v5.htm

$798 and SRP niya. Masyado naman mababa yung $399 for a high end model. Considering ang kalaban ng B&W 685 is the titan monitor which si already much cheaper than the B&W locally.

Although going by the earlier post na cut and pasted, as worded, individual price ang $399 so baka per piece ito. I think some speakers, especially high end ones are quoted at a per piece price kahit per pair kailangan bilhin.

Hehe yes, actually both are correct but at a different perpective. ;D

The SRP for the Studio 10 is $399 each or $798 per pair. :) I veried with S&S. John is right the Studio 10 current price is still at P33k per pair. It's cheaper than the SRP (or probably due to our current strong exchange rate)

33k is probably discounted na rin. SRP here is more or less the same siguro. If you're really interested, I think DOM can also give good pricing on paradigm speakers.

Post by: RastaSega on May 14, 2010 at 10:12 AM: Hi everyone.

After a lot of consideration I think I'm going to go for this setup:

Existing equipment :
1. Denon 1609
2. Polk Audio 10" sub
3. Paradigm Atoms

Will get:
1. Paradigm Mini monitor
2. Paradigm cc-190

So the setup will be :

Fronts : Mini Monitor
Center : cc-190
Rears : Atoms

Some questions:
1. What do you think of this setup? I wanted to get Titans pero parang mas madaling idrive tong mini monitor considering 1609 lang yung avr ko.
2. For the rears anong magandang placement nito?
3. Saan maganda kumuha nitong new gears :D

The stores that stock Paradigm products that I know of and where you can audition are SnS in ortigas, Audible Illusions in QC and (I think) Watt Hifi in MCS (Makati).

As usual, best to audition. Kung kaya with your amp, dalhin mo na rin to see how it handles the mini and the titans. Hassle lang for you since existing equipment na siya, if you don't use banana plugs, medyo hassle tanggalin yung current speakers niya and ibalik pa. That is, if di mo pa uuwiin ang panalo sa audition.

Placement ng rears, di ko alam. I guess that would depend on your room. Do you intend to wall mount it or place them on stands?
Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: RastaSega on May 14, 2010 at 01:10 PM: I will place them on stands sir.

maganda nga sana kung ma audition ko ng maayos sa bahay ko. don't know lang if pwede. ayaw ko naman dalhin yung avr ko sa shop since iba rin naman ang tunog na lalabas dun given so many other different factors.

buti pa kung used yung items e pwede i audition hehehee.

IMHO, get the TITAN as your front, as you can see in my previous post akai is only 50 W/c and @ 10 o/clock dial halos mabasag na ang speaker, you're AVR is good enough to push titan at isa pa all your speakers will be set @ small...

placement of SR sp... there are lots of suggestions you can find online... and try to expirement that sounds better in your room... ;D

Probably the 1609 will be able to drive the Titans. Its sensitivity is 93db at 8ohms naman so it should be ok.

Although I wouldn't be surprised if the 50 wpc of power given by the Akai would be more than the power given by the 75wpc of the AVR. Not saying it is. Just wouldn't be surprised.

I think I remember some user comments or reviews (don't remember kung saan ko nabasa) that the Titans were a little boomy. I cannot verify this though. Best to listen for yourself.
Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: RastaSega on May 15, 2010 at 11:44 AM: thanks. I'll try to audition them both.

i have a feeling it will be boomy. Medyo maliit lang yung area ko so I think I will do well with the mini monitor. Need to research on something else though. Front firing yung titans e unlike the atom and mini monitor.
Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: RastaSega on May 16, 2010 at 01:20 PM: wow ang ganda naman nyan! Medyo maliit lang yung area ko for now kasi condo unit. Maybe I'll move to a bigger place pero not in the near future. Talagang gusto ko yang titans. Sandali... will try to get a quote for them.

anung version po ng titan ang balak nyong kunin?
mine is titan V6, sinubukan ko pong ilagay to sa kwarto ko(just for an experiment) in place of my B&W 303..kung maliit ang area, BOOMY!.masakit sa ulo at sa dib dib..
kung maluwag naman ung place at medyo maganda ang treatment, i can say, that my new titan v6 is as good as my beloved 602 s3, lamang pa nga ng kaunti eh.. ;)

by the way, ung titan v6 po ay front and rear ported..
para saken po sir, ill get the titan..
you can tame its boominess with your avr.
besides, HT naman ang set up mo, your SUBwoofer itself will be boomy pag maliit ung area mo..

Bro, kaunting comment lang, medyo malapit yata ang speakers mo sa back wall. Those are beatiful sounding speakers. They will sound better IMHO is place farther away from the wall. My listening room is also quite small but i make sure na i put enough space at the back wall. I could hear that it improves the imaging of the speaker and the overall balance from top to bottom.

Just my 2 cents.

2) it was a good price

3) i plan to move to a bigger house in the future

well, the upgrade is almost over. Stands na lang siguro :)

I could say yes because the sound wave is still exciting the whole room and placing a bass trap at the back will still help in taming the bass at the place where you put it. This is to consider especially for speakers being placed near the back wall.

good morning, pasingit po mga koya..
anung version po ng titan ang balak nyong kunin?
mine is titan V6, sinubukan ko pong ilagay to sa kwarto ko(just for an experiment) in place of my B&W 303..kung maliit ang area, BOOMY!.masakit sa ulo at sa dib dib..
kung maluwag naman ung place at medyo maganda ang treatment, i can say, that my new titan v6 is as good as my beloved 602 s3, lamang pa nga ng kaunti eh.. ;)

by the way, ung titan v6 po ay front and rear ported..
para saken po sir, ill get the titan..
you can tame its boominess with your avr.
besides, HT naman ang set up mo, your SUBwoofer itself will be boomy pag maliit ung area mo..
;D

brader Mak,you are right as you mentioned boominess can be tamed by AVR... and to more on that, SUBs can be tamed also even in small areas if your AVR or preamp has room correction or room equalization function. just my 2cents..

:D

the 20s has better refinement especially in mids and highs. you may not need a subwoofer with the 20s if youll be using them within a room not bigger than 16m2.
these speakers sound good especially if driven with a powerful amp (its when youll feel the good bass).

Post by: ricworks on Aug 07, 2010 at 12:21 PM: Mini Monitor vs Titan

dear Paradigm users, since these two fine bookshelf speakers are arguably closely related (price wise, ok 4-5k difference), now its a bit confusing choosing one over the other.

so for those very familiar with both Titan and Mini Monitor here at Pdvd,

(intended for stereo music,average room, and price isnt an issue)

in contrast to Titans, how would you rate/evaluate Mini Monitor in terms of...

1) soundstage presence -
2) bass control -
3) overall sound quality/performance -

----
are they at par to each other or one is significantly better than the other? whats your take?

any input would be highly appreciated. thank you :)

Post by: [r0n1n] on Aug 24, 2010 at 12:59 PM: Hello Paradigm users,

I've been scouting for my first speakers (fronts) and I came across Paradigm Monitor 9v5 selling at S$963. Any users of this speaker? Most of the forums I've read are matching these speakers with B&W so I guess they are on the same level in terms of price and performance?

Which receiver will match well with these speakers? I'm leaning towards either Denon (1911) or HK (255).

And just to add, I'm torn between other speakers like: Dali Ikon 5, Monitor Audio BR5, and Mission M64i. By the way, all speakers are almost on the same price range.

TIA! ;D

digms are usually commented being on bright/warm side, due to it's metal dome tweets. so, you need to pair them with neutral or SS amps. :D

Post by: [r0n1n] on Aug 30, 2010 at 02:25 PM: Finally got my first fronts, its a Monitor 7 v6. I'm surprised on how it sounded out of the box. Sabi ko nga sa sarili ko "hindi kaya eto yung naka display na ginagamit pang demo ???

Anyway, I auditioned it side by side with Monitor 9 v5. IMHO, Monitor 9 has deeper bass (having bigger woofer of course) but the mids and highs are the same (for my untrained ears). The listening room was quite big so I can feel the advantage of Monitor 9. Since I'll be using the speakers in my room only and have plans on getting a sub someday, decided to go for 7.

Funny thing was, I have the MA BR5, Ikon 5, and Mission M64i in mind when I went out to audition. Don't get me wrong, these are not bad speakers. Its just that I find Paradigms better (IMHO). Iba talaga pag inaudition mo.

Anyway break in muna. Btw, I paired it with Denon 1911 ;D

if your denon has preouts to connect ext. power amps and if you have chance to get one, you will hear the big difference esp. on mid & hi frequency region.

It's based on my experience when I was using Denon 2802 + Studio 60v2. the I connected the amp and play music & movies it's like I changed my speakers .... ;D ;D ;D

thanks audiojunkie! I also heard Monitor 7 v6 speakers paired with Rotel RA-1520 and I must say I'm impressed. Pano pa kung power amp? Unfortunately walang pre-out yung 1911 (33xx yung meron). Besides, sa maliit na room ko lang naman gagamitin (palusot pa, wala talagang pambili ng power amp ;D ).

@audiojunkie. i thought so too. as an audionewbie who had briefly demoed titans @sas >to my subjective ears, yeah, i was really impressed when i heard these titans paired with a 40-50watt NAD (bass is good, kala ko nga may sub sa background) and theres this good wide soundstage that i noticed. the sound from the titans filled the whole space of SaS's mini audioroom (granted its a very small listening room).

I also listened to paradigm mini monitor (i heard its a bestseller @SaS, at least accdg to one staff). it has a clearer sound but not as enveloping or as impressive overall as the titans (to me).

i think titans are really good value for the money based on its price/SQ vs competition. having a decent 93db sensitivity @8ohms, it would be so easy to amplify them whether using a lowly powered tubeAmp or 40/50watter SS amp.

my only worry (or nitpicking) about the titans is the "alleged" issue about 1) mid-bass bloat and 2)port noise that are floating in other audio forums. these are the only gripes that i read about them, everything else is good :). Whether its exaggerations or not, its best to demo them for further SQ evaluation -thats what i would do.

with regards to their mid highend bookshelf speakers, the Studio Series, version 5, which was just released last year, i only read good things about them. sadly, di mo lang ma demo locally or maybe di ko lang alam kung saang audioshop pwedeng ma-demo :-\

having a higher price point than monitor series, i do expect the studio series to be more refined + better SQ of course:)

OT: i thought sister companies like nad+psb make the best synergy. I demo'd psb image b6 + NAD 50-watter + CDP = fine, but no sparkle to me. I also tried the higher model, imagine B + 150w NAD = good, but i was expecting something more for its higher combo price range. (perhaps a bright-leaning cambridge gears would make those psb sing very well (than nad paring).

NAD+paradigm pairing is more sound to me. maybe because nad's laidback signature were able to tame a little those bright-sounding paradigms. hey, its just me and my bagito ears. i know i need to learn more and hear more. i'm also enjoying this 'madness' journey in search of my audio bliss;D

Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: audiojunkie on Nov 18, 2010 at 05:22 PM: personally, I haven't heared the two paired but in some opinions yamaha is thin sounding amp and digms at bright side due to it's metal dome tweets. In my own view, it depends on personal taste of sound. For HT use I believe it will be a good match to produce the full frequency range in every movie. For music, it just need proper calibration and fine tuning to sound great. :o ;D

Hi mga fellow pdvd members, I would like to get your input regarding the Paradigm Monitor 7 V6? I'm currently reading reviews online lng. I'm also comparing this one with JBL ES80 series halos magka price range kc sila.

TIA! :)

if both at same price range so I suggest to listen to them with your own muic or movie and let your own ears & heart to decide... ;D

bro, I'm using this speaker and I'm quite satisfied, lalo na sa bass. Kaya di pa ako gaanong nagmamadali sa pagbili ng sub (actually walang pambili :D ). Kung maliit yung room mo, enough na itong speaker na 'to. I would have gotten the Monitor 9 v6 kaso sobrang nalalakihan ako at masyadong boomy na yung bass (imho). Monitor 7 is really slim and will not take much space.

When I auditioned this speaker, the shop happened to be carrying rotels (integrated amp and cdp) and i was like :o :o :o I was expecting the same performance when I connected it to my denon avr and PS3 and I'm quite disappointed (silly me for thinking that way haha) At least I know my speakers are capable of delivering good music ;D

I haven't tried JBL so I cannot comment on that. Goodluck!

Made in China na yun Monitor 7 instead of Canada.

If it's true, atleast paradigm maintains their drivers still made in their own backyard. otherwise, the MSRP shall not be the same those units made & shipped accross the globe. ::)

sir marsman, you won't go wrong with the New Titan & cc390 combo. used to own cc370 in my setup and it worked fine with St60. Presently, have titan v2 which perfectly matched with Fisher X-100-A tube amp.

Pic of the combo: (CC570 & ST60 v3 at the background)
(http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa316/ram_on/x100a/digm.jpg)
(still in disarray,figuring-out where to put the amp.need extra headroom due to heat from the tubes and long audio cables to connect Marantz CD player ... ::) )

currently I'm using monitor 7 v6 and cc190 for center for quite some time now. I'm wondering if I should upgrade the center to cc290 kasi ito yng recommended sa website (pero locally sa shops nirerecommend nila yng cc190 for monitor 7 - same woofer driver and relative size I guess ang reason pero syempre different ang power ratings).

thanks!

can you post the differences of both models.

there's no harm to go for the higher model of same series. like in my case got ref 60 v3 which is match to cc470 v3 but decided to get cc570 v3 of almost same price w/ cc470. so, if you have extra budget get the higher model.

just my 2 cents. ;D

bro kung hindi issue ang space go for CC290. malaki ang difference in dimension, sobrang nalalakihan nga ako sa CC290 pero yun ang binili ko hehe feeling ko nga floorstander yun na inihiga e :D sabi din sa shop na pinagbilhan ko, yung CC290 pang Monitor 9 but it doesn't mean it won't do well with Monitor 7.

Sir riven, i have cc290 v6. Panalo ito compared to cc190. Before i bought it eh binalik balikan ko ito sa audio shop just to make sure na ito talaga ang gusto ko. Dati kc bumili ako ng smaller center Klipsch RC25 kaso medyo nakulangan ako kaya bumili ako ng much bigger RC35 :)

You're right Sir Ronin. Kahit i-partner ko ang cc290 sa mini monitor & titan monitor both v6 ay maganda pa rin ang blending. Para sakin good combi rin itong cc290 i-partner sa Klipsch like my RF15 FS :)

Monitor 9 (or the series itself) are quite easy to drive. I've heard it driven by Rotel and I like the combo very much (you can also ask Mr. H naka Rotel avr and Paradigm Monitor 11 sya). But I've gotten the smaller Monitor 7 kasi bedroom setup ako dati and felt Monitor 7 will suffice. Also, mas maganda ang bass ng 9 kesa 7. I suppose meron nyan dyan sa atin kasi previous series yan ng Monitor lineup. SnS ata ang distributor ng Paradigm, paki correct lang mga gurus.

My uncle currently hook up this monitor 9v6 to his Yamaha rx-a3010 receiver and bass was shaking to their sala pero parang may kulang sa overall SQ nya, and i think possible na hindi pa sya total na burn in test o baka sa set up compatibility lang. Otherwise, thanks for the info brader ron1n. :)

+1 on this. Im sure maganda din yan sa HT. Personally i like the sound of digms, buo and warm. Nagkaroon ako dati ng atom v2 and i regret in selling that good speakers. Yung atom solve na ako, what more ung studio 10. I really like to hear these beauties. :)

I also have Titan v2 paired w/ Fisher tube amp for awhile and it sounded great w/o any fatigue even in extended listening session. IMHO, with their alum. dome tweeters they matched well with laid back or not forward sounding amps.

I did a listening test with monitor V6 titan and i feel that the mid's seems to drown out the vocals but
I hear the v7 fix this issue.

Studio series is another animal, this is where paradigms deserves there name. great over all. i suggest go for that and skip monitor v6 series.

Paradigms are known to be a little bright, think that is what they are. There fantastic for movies and okay for music.
I did a listening test with monitor V6 titan and i feel that the mid's seems to drown out the vocals but
I hear the v7 fix this issue.

Studio series is another animal, this is where paradigms deserves there name. great over all. i suggest go for that and skip monitor v6 series.

studio series? pwede, he he pwedeng pangarapin..... tnx for the input sir

parang gusto ko pa ring pakinggan yang studio, para, kapag nag hapgreyd, tumbok na agad ang pupuntahan ;D ;D puro black na daw pala ang naiiwan sa 9v.6, 2 pairs... wala na akong inabutang ibang kulay :( baka nga wala na ring aabutan.....bad trip kasi tong canon service, di pa tapos pinagawa kong camera para sabay sana sa isang byahe, it cost me kasi 10k + or - sa isang byahe >:(

Post by: ♡ lvcdg23™ ✌ on Feb 03, 2012 at 12:59 PM: I used to have Studio 20 and cc690 v5 for my fronts.
They are really great for home theater. Very clear ang highs.
Problem with the big cc690 center is that you need POWER to drive it to its potential.
Sa 2 channel set up naman, the Studio 20 is somewhat on the bright side maybe because of it's GPAL(gold anodized pure aluminum) tweeter. Cguro dahil bright talaga ang tweeter na metal in nature...
If your into fast paced music I think Studio 20 would suite your taste. Maganda din ang bass extension nya.
Overall you can never go wrong with the Studio series... I even considered getting the Studio 60 and cc590 before I went with the JBL LS series ;D

I'm into moderate to fast paced rock music, like that of toto's.....but I like standers, that's why, studio 60 is at my list, kya lang, way too high for my budget, so I think, I'll give studio 20 a try :D, but, aambisyonin ko pa rin sya(studio60).....in the meantime, starter muna, if I cant have 9v.6, MA's Rx6, polk's RTi A7 and mission's Mx5 are still on the list, to include now studio 20 :D

Have heard na ang RTi A7, ok ang tunog nya for me...like to hear lahat on my list...i've considered mission's mx5 cause of its price and the looks and of its massive built, he he, got to hear them. 9v6's prices also attracted me...

Post by: Tavus on Feb 04, 2012 at 08:14 PM: 30k for monitor 9 v6 ,well its a very good price considering it was around 49000++ on release.
Well if your room is small you wouldn't really need towers.

sovain if you can afford it go for the studio series. Get studio 20's and studio 590(easier to drive) center, monitor surrounds and a decent subwoofer, like an svs and you will have a system that will last you years.

well my 2 cents.

my living room is 27.5 sq.m. plus my dining at 27.5 sq. m. too, but I'm now preparing the materials for a wall divider to separate the two rooms, so, for this area, i think I'll go for standers with this area ;)...but, I'll make a review on the studio 20...for subs, svs is still the only brand on my list...napasyalan ko na si mike c last december.......and that visit to mike c changes all my plans and sked in putting up an ht system....kaya, wag pasyalan ang mga magagandang set up, nakakasira ng mga plano ;D ;D ;D

I'll have my first Paradigm speakers tomorrow - a set of Titan Monitor v6

Planning to pair with the following:
CC290 v6 - center
Atom Monitor v6 - surrounds
SVS Subs?

Any comments on my build?
What BS Stands can you recommend for the Titans?

Thanks,
Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: RastaSega on Feb 10, 2012 at 11:34 PM: I have the same setup except for the cc290.

I have the cc190 instead. SVS sub is PB10.

I guess it sounds great because I was able to convince a friend to follow and order a set of paradigm speakers for himself (pdvd member)

Yung bs stands ni turbokiller kasya yung titans. Just give him the base dimensions.

nakabuti yng pagpasyal ko kay rasta kasi yun pala hinahanap kong tunog... equipment is quite similar too kaya I'm confident di masyado magiging malayo yng sound.... though mas masarap tumambay sa kanila at laging may cold drinks at merienda ;D

Congrats on your new digm monitor 9! Regarding cc290 v5, I've read that aside from cosmetic differences between v5 and v6, magkaiba yung crossover ng 2 versions. so Im not sure how your L/R v6 will match with center v5, better to audition it. Sa case ko kasi, yung surrounds ko ang v5, the rest are v6. And LCR matching is more important sabi nga nila, so pati version minatch ko na din.

Haven't heard the DST series, hindi available dito e. Magkano dyan?

kung ipapa-audition naman nung seller, audition mo na. kasi usually sa mga ganyang bentahan, yung iba hindi inaallow yung audition, functional test lang to prove na in good working condition yung item. Kung gusto mo ng svs, audition mo din muna then decide whichever suits your taste. I'm using svs and im very very happy, you wont go wrong with these (paging sir Mike! sine-sales talk ko na hehehe).

Ano magandang DAC sa tingin okay dito? What I have in mind is Rega DAC or Musical Fidelity M1 DAC. The M1 is cheaper but I'm afraid the it will be bright for the setup. Any opinions?

Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: armymanhaha on Sep 10, 2012 at 07:47 AM: One thing that I admire about the the Studio v.5 series is that they can when required, go crazy with the treble. I have here a live recording of Lynyrd Skynyrd's live rendition of Free Bird (extended outro version) and man! those ride cymbals are very audible towards the end. It just adds to the musical experience. This just shows how dynamic sounding these babies are. I'm definitely impressed that I had to post this experience here.

I've listened to this song numerous times on my Audience 42 before. It was okay then, but nothing special. I'm glad about the 'Paradigm Shift' that happened to my system. hehe. ;)

sir:

just need a little help here, if you are to choose for an upgrade(s)-would it be your receiver or your speakers? :-\

If I were to choose, I 'd upgrade my speakers. Having a good speaker will last you for years unlike receivers IMHO.

Sa case mo sir, I smell Signature >:D hehe kayang kaya mo naman pag sabayin ang speaker and avr upgrades ;)

sir ronin:

:o in my wildest dream!!!! haha! sana mag katotoo..Signature? out of my league sir...
okay, sir, kung kayo po papipiliin, anong set-up ang gusto nyo?

option 1:
monitor series v6 + Anthem D2V (3d?) / AVM 50V av processor
or
option 2:
studio series v5 + Anthem MRX 500

my current set-up: monitor series v6 + anthem mrx 500...

sir hindi ba parang alanganin yung Monitor series (entry level) sa D2V or 50V (high end)? Wala pa akong experience dyan sa 2 av proc na yan, siguro hanggang pangarap na lang yan after reading this:

(excerpt from Home Toys):
"The Statement D2v 3D and AVM 50v 3D are currently available for order. CAD FMV for the Anthem Statement D2v 3D is $10,499 and for the Anthem AVM 50v 3D, $6,999. The CAD FMV for the 3D upgrade kit is TBA. For more information, please visit www.anthemAV.com"

;D

mas okay kung reference or signature ang pairing. E di ba naka Studio 60 ka na?
Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: Tavus on Oct 03, 2012 at 02:17 PM: might buy a paradigmin the future.
for those who own signature series how much better is the sound of the signature series s2 over the studio 60? Is the s2 bookshelf better than a tower 60?
this will be for a more movie oriented set up.

sir, hmmm...i got this offer that i can hardly refuse...yep, i got a pair of studio 60 v5...
hi-end AV proc + entry level speakers = what do you mean alanganin sir?
entry level receiver + mid level speakers = would this be better?

Wala naman ako nakikitang problema sa high end avr+entry level speaker. IMO baka hindi maunleash yung full potential ng avr mo. Converesely, ang nakikita kong problema e baka hindi kayang i-drive ng entry level avr yung hi end speaker especially kung low sensitivity speakers.

Mag sesetup ka ba ng bago? Yun bang entry level avr na tinutukoy mo e yung MRX 500 mo? Hindi ata entry level yan :P

For movies, I dont think there will be much difference unless you dont have a sub. FS will generally have more bass due to its larger enclosure.

I once asked the same at AVS sometime back but ive compared monitor 7 and studio 20. Studio 20 will be better overall but thats for audio, not HT

Either speaker win win ka sir. I've read from other forums that S2 were sometimes used as surround so as Ive mentioned having a good sub will compliment for the lows. Do you know the rough estimate of these speakers?

I have the Monitor 7 v6, but I've auditioned the 9's before. SQ-wise, they are both the same except the 9's have deeper bass. Some say Paradigm is bright, but others think its warm (like me). I guess depende sa amp na gagamitin mo. I find it bright when I auditioned it using Rotel integrated. But paired with my Denon avr, I find it warm. Try mo din :)

Pwede mo din pala tanungin si bro den1224, naka 9v6 sya. HTH

you can try and contact the local distributor of Paradigm, Hifi Plus.

531 A. Flores St., Ermita, Manila, 1000
Tel: (+632) 526-3831 or 526-5541
Fax: (+632) 526-2679

As far as I remember, when the v7 came out, they pulled out all the v6 stock from their dealers. I actually liked the v6 better than the v7, in sq and aesthetics.

Its been a while since I visited this site. I moved down under 5 years ago after I sold my HT setup sa pinas. Now its time to build HT again. so need your thoughts on this setup

Paradigm Monitor 7 fronts (Pair)
Paradigm Monitor Centre 1
Paradigm Monitor Surround 1 (Pair)
Paradigm Sub PDR-100
Denon 1713

Room is 3.5m x 4.5m

Or just found some sale here
1 X pair SE3 Mains
1 X Pair SE1 Surrounds
1 X SE Centre
1 X SE Subwoofer
paired with Denon 1713?

underpowered ba yung amp?
Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: [r0n1n] on Feb 16, 2013 at 08:29 AM: SE sits in between Monitor and Studio series so I suppose its better though I haven't personally heard those. But the AVS folks prefer the Monitor 7 ;D

Thanks!

What amp sir? An integrated or A/V Receiver?
Also what's your budget?
Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: wharfejay on Jul 26, 2013 at 12:28 PM: My budget is around 40k. I'm leaning towards an AV receiver since it will be used for both movies and music.

Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: deist on Jul 30, 2013 at 11:08 AM: Was able to audition the Studio 20, interestingly the vocal sounded more neutral with the grilles on. but overall; detailed neutral sound and impressive dynamic lows.

it should match quite well with marantz receivers. :)

marantz sr5007 retails for only 44k. definitely less than 40k after discount. :)

Post by: wharfejay on Aug 01, 2013 at 10:18 AM: yaman pala ni sir makmak hehe.. anyway I'm now leaning towards NAD integrated amp. may na try ako sa SnS 50watts ung amp, i think it's 326BEE. Ganda ng tunog. Pero ngiisip pa rin ako kung mas ok ang higher wattage na amp since floorstander ung speakers ko.

Haven't heard of NAD paired with Monitor series. But I've heard Rotel with my previous Monitor 7 v6. For me a bit bright with Rotels. Pero sa Denon (avr), medyo warm to neutral yung combo. Madali naman idrive yung Monitor sir, 50w amp will suffice unless you have a big room and you like to crank up the volume ;D

Marantz and paradigm is just way-way too bright for me... ;D

Post by: rubberduckie on Oct 24, 2013 at 09:42 PM: Good evening mga sir. I just want to ask your opinion regarding the HT setup that my wife and I are planning to get. Actually, I am torn between Paradigm and B&W (600 series) because the Paradigms seem to sound better for movies while the B&Ws sound better when you listen to music in my humble opinion. :-\

Application for the setup will definitely be 50/50 movies and music. We are currently leaning to get a Paradigm/Marantz combination since the wifey likes them better. The specific gears are as follows:

Paradigm Monitor 11 (Front Pair)
Paradigm Monitor 3 (Center)
Paradigm Surround 1 (Surround Pair)
Paradigm DSP3200 (Sub)
Marantz SR6008

Any pros and cons that you guys see with the setup above? Do you guys think Paradigms would be performing better than B&Ws (exact counterparts in the 600 series) using the same receiver? Hope you guys can give us some insights. Thanks in advance! :)
Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: rubberduckie on Oct 30, 2013 at 04:09 PM: Thanks so much for the input sir. Would you know the equivalent of the Marantz sr6008 with Denon, NAD, or Anthem? How much are they? If given the choice, which among the 3 would you choose to power the Paradigm 5.1 setup? :)

Best thing with Anthem is the ARC. You can find a good location for your speakers and sub using quick measure before you finally run the ARC and provide a better solution for your speaker/sub setup. And Anthem is continously updating their software to fix some bugs. Recently they posted the updated softwares for their products.
Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: rubberduckie on Oct 31, 2013 at 09:07 PM: Just checked Anthem's website and they already have the new mrx series namely the 310, 510, and 710. Im not sure though if those AVRs are readily available here in the country already. I would assume that their prices would be a bit steeper compared with the previous models. The new MRX series also features the newer ARC 1M which is quite interesting. Will definitely dropby Spectra again to check if they already have the new MRX series and audition them with the paradigm monitors. The only problem for me for sure is the big price difference of the mrx510 compared with marantz sr6008, mainly because of the 7.1 channel option. :P

Una congrats bro sa setup mo... Used to own setup studio 60v1 & v2 +ultracube 12. I matched v2 with cc470 which almost identical in specs. Unfortunately, I'm hooked in music system & sold those already.
I suggest to get matching series to your front for timbre match and with your big room / space adding another sub is best move.

Ok..pero ano po suggestion nyo eh una?

Sub O center

Kung center man malaki ba improvement ng CC590 sa CC490 kaya?
Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: audiojunkie on Sep 06, 2014 at 11:15 AM: Pwede una muna ang CC speaker, since meron ka na sub sa ngayon. Mas maganda mapakinggan nyo ang dalawa at kung worth ang extra cost ng cc590. Pero sa tingin ko di masayadong malaki ang sound difference ng dalawa. Sa HT setup naman all channels set small. So, all of them voicing from your cut-off freq. sa LP filter ng sub or AVR.
Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: [r0n1n] on Sep 06, 2014 at 07:46 PM: Sir Incubus, kung ako ang meron ng setup mo, center ang uunahin ko at yung CC590. Bookshelf lang yung sa akin kaya CC490 okay na. Since naka studio 60 ka, mas bagay dyan CC590 :)

then sub ( svs or jl audio )

mejo dag dagan mo po ng treatment yung room sir pag naka cc 590 ka na :)

Ang inaabangan ng marami nung last CEDIA e yung v6 na Studio ;D kala ko tuloy mag mumura na ang Studio hehehehe

Ayaw ni Misis ng malalaking speaker......kaya compromise...ako sa front kaya Studio 60 at nag Seismic 110 ako..sa sub...

cguro score na lang ako isa pang Seismic 110 para sa kabila...pero depende pa rin sa Audio rack ko... di pa ko nakakapili ng ok. eh

and another sub in the future sa rear...

Yung mga panels sir, sa mga walls ...check mo yung HT gallery dito for reference..marami magaganda ang ht set up dito..sa sub naman, okay lang naman kung ibang brand..i own seismic sub as weĺl,..instead of getting 2 more seismic bakit di nyo po muna subukan 1 pc/pb 13 ultra or pc/pb12 plus svs? Im using pb12 plus svs on my 9.1 (paradigm monitor series)...and JL audio fathom 113 on my 2.1 stereo (digm studio 60 v5)...the seiamic is very good...but svs and jl audio ??very-very-very-very good! ;D
Btw, sir, subukan mo rin pong itaas ng kaunte yung back surround nyo..
@ ronin
Sir, what do you think, maganda kayang gamitin yung 2 center channel as back surround?
Okidoks, plano ko lagyan ng mga posters sa mga wall.. acoustic wall panels na movie posters siguro...

Sa sub, ok nga yung mga nabanggit mo, pero anlalaki nila... di papasa kay misis..nag simula lang yang setup ko sa MilleniaOne 5.1..hanggang sa unti-unti napalitan ko yung front....hopefully sunod center...

Di na mataas pre yung surround, yan talaga height ng MC-30.. ear level...

Sir, what do you think, maganda kayang gamitin yung 2 center channel as back surround?

Pwede naman kung sa pwede pero kasi ako I prefer dipoles sa back surround :) yaman mo sir, pang back surround lang ang cc hehehe

I got a reply from Paradigm themself. The Prestige series is situated smack in the middle of Studio and Signature.

Sabi ko na e between Studio and Signature. Thanks!

Thanks sir,...

Ang unang plano ko ay subukan ko sana ang Klipsch dahil tinitingnan ko ang dimension ng Center One, medyo malaki ng 1/2" para sa paglalagyan ko, kaya lang, baka naman kako hindi magsara ang centerstage ko at magkakaiba pa ng frequency, mauubliga na lang akong magremedyo sa console ng TV...

Am sure this sounds great, medyo pricey nga lang talaga,... ^-^

and ang status na lumilitaw ay "Locating Local Dealer" coz nasa Canada ang main office,
and I'm in California, someone called me awhile ago from Florida,
and sya daw ang sumagot sa tawag ng Paradigm, mukhang sya lang daw ang may stock ng Center 1 na Cherry, kaya lang ng makita daw nya ang actual stock, kulay black pala,...

Eto na ngayon ang maganda, mukhang kahiyaan na, dahil Cherry ang order ko,
ang ipapadala daw nya ay Center 3 na Cherry, FOR THE SAME PRICE
ng Center 1, gusto lang daw nya masigurado na magkakasya sa cabinet ko,
I had to double check the cabinet, mauubliga akong maglagare ng cabinet,
but technically it will fit, ABA, sayang ang offer kung papakawalan ko pa ha,... HAHAHAHA

I don't have the NAD, but I owned Monitor 7 v6 before, primarily for HT (60/40), I found the bass sufficient for both. I don't even use the sub for stereo. But for HT, of course its a must ;D nanghuhula lang sir, pero have you tried another cds?

I have read in another forum that the 20 V3's are the best among the line up but it is all perspective. Hope to hear some insights for previous users.

Post by: ABCmotorparts on Dec 27, 2016 at 09:19 PM: Pardon me, Just wanted to hear some ideas, my current setup consists of a Yamaha Aventage RX-A1030 paired to an Adcom GFA6000, a pair of Paradigm Monitor 7 v.7, Paradigm Center 3, a pair of Paradigm in ceilings and a pair of SVS PC12 Plus,... I was able to snag a very nice Yamaha Aventage RX-A2040, the wife gave the go ahead to order the speakers already, Paradigm has a promo I think, buy a pair of Monitors and get the center free, but one of my tech guru was suggesting try out the Definitive Technology BP10B, he swears its gonna outmatch my current Paradigm system, we're talking stereo system only, 2 main speakers, DefTechs BP10Ps are running at $750 for the pair, and they're Manufacturer Refurbished, while the Paradigm's are at $900 for the 7s, and $1200 for the 9s, not to mention it comes with the free center (and they are brand new,..!) It is for our master bedroom, for now I know my focus is on the 2 channel end, but I know I might end up setting it up even more soon. So I would love to hear your ideas and opinions... Thanks,..!

Well anyway, like what I've said earlier,I haven't had the pleasure of hearing what Definitive Technology has to offer, we tried out 3 models, the BP-9020ST, BP-9040ST and the BP-9080ST, We also tried a couple of Martin Logans, the MO20GBL and the MO40GBL. I know it will all depend to who is listening, to what material is being played, but in all honesty, nothing came close to the sound produced by my Paradigm Monitor 7, and even my teens were really surprised on what they heard, so anyway, I did ordered the Paradigm Monitor 7 again, I decided to stick with what I already have, and I got the free center channel with it still,... Can't wait,..! Cheers guys,...

Sabog ang tunog, hindi malinaw ang high and mid, then nauubligang ilakas pa ng agent ang volume, mas lalo ng naluko dahil sa tenga namin, kahit pa Pioneer Elite na receiver ang driver parang bitin na bitin sa power, hindi makaangat ang boses talaga, unlike the Monitors namin na ang baba ng volume level pero ang linaw ng highs and mids, iba ang imaging, then I showed my teens ang difference ng setup namin when running without a subwoofer, 2 fronts running as large, and nagulat sila na buong buo ang boses at image, iba ang music nya, malinis and nandun ang mid bass and bass, kaya sabi ko, I'll just stick with what I know is best to our ears...

When I was scouting for speakers, I am determined to get Missions. But preference changes kapag ina-audition mo na. My top 2 speakers were MA BR5 and Paradigm Monitor 7 v6. Even though Monitor 7 was out of my budget, sya pinili ko. If it was an RS6 e baka nasa kabilang thread na ako :P mas neutral sounding ang Monitor 7 e at feeling ko mahina yung BR5 using the same amp. Of course YMMV
Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: mhacman on Mar 02, 2017 at 04:04 PM: I am good to go with Monitor 7 s7 though humid sa PH, kahit nasa southern part of Manila ako and <2degrees colder, humidy is still high.. issue ba talaga yung baffle? kausap ko na representative ng distributor, oo daw eh...

for now, both MA Bronze 5 and this Monitor 7 s7 is almost equally priced after the discount... and so my dilemma which one to finally choose.

thanks!
Title: Re: Paradigm Speakers
Post by: mbtorn on Mar 02, 2017 at 04:52 PM: If for purely music, I will go for MA Bronze plus I will add a sealed subwoofer.

If for HT, I will choose Paradigm (fronts, center and surrounds) plus I will add one or two ported subwoofer/s.

Post by: stratix2 on Oct 02, 2018 at 08:41 AM: Got a chance to own another pair of Studio 20V5's. Hooked them up to compare with the old 20V3's currently used (driven by NADC356). Experimented with different speaker cables as well as different sources (NADC516 and Yamaha CD-S700). I find the V5's more refined and detailed, while the V3's with more thump and bass. V5's less tiring to listen too, running them for hours.

Post by: stratix2 on Oct 25, 2018 at 09:54 AM: I was home alone yesterday and I took the chance to listen some more variety of music with the other pair of V5's I had left, hooked up to my NAD 356. This time my laptop hooked up to the NAD's USB port and Youtube streamed source.

I tried some of Travis Scott's songs as they kind of capture the full range of frequencies across (vocals, techno, etc). Man, the V5's can handle them well. I was amazed of how it was able to reproduce the lower frequency signals that I suspect some speakers would produce audible distortions at that volume range (11 o'clock).

I did not feel fatigued at all after more than 2 hours of just bass pounding music.
Did I mention, I had the barbecue fired up with 2 good slabs of ribs grilling while at it?
