PARADIGM RELEASES PREMIER SERIES LOUDSPEAKER RANGE
Crafted in Canada ... That's Paradigm's statement for its new Premier Series of loudspeakers that sits between the recently released Monitor SE range and the Prestige Series. It also benefits from trickle-down technology from the state-of-the-art Persona Series.
The Premier Series is designed, engineered, and made in Paradigm’s state-of-the-art Canadian facility and promises true hand-crafted build-quality, utilising heavy duty, non-resonant 3/4-inch MDF, interior bracing, and reinforced front baffles that it says ensures an audio performance beyond any other in this price range.
Paradigm has employed tapered-angle cabinet designs in this range that not only reduces back-wave reflections within the cabinet, but ensures more accurately dispersed audio reproduction.
Partnering with Canada's world-renowned NRC for ongoing research into human hearing and sound reproduction, its findings are employed in Paradigm's speaker ranges starting with the Persona Series and now trickling down to the Premier Series.
The Premier Series consists of six models, including 100B Bookshelf ($1,299), 200B Bookshelf ($1,499), 700F Floorstander ($2,799), 800F Floorstander ($3,499), and two centre channel speakers, 500C ($1,299) and 600C ($1,699).
Bruce Thierbach, General Manager Sales & Marketing for Audio Active which distributes Paradigm in Australia, told StereoNET:
This line up has been the missing link within the Paradigm range here in Australia. The new Premier Series has been positioned well in order to achieve maximum value for money, quality and performance.
What you get in the Premier Series is all the research, engineering and hand-crafted build quality from higher models for only a modest outlay.
Premier Series is expected to be available in Australia at the end of August 2018.
See Paradigm in Room M6 at the 2018 Melbourne International Hi-Fi Show, October 12-14, at the Pullman Mercure Hotel, Albert Park. Tickets on sale now.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
