As a Canadian company specializing in the production of in-wall, on-wall and freestanding loudspeakers as well as subwoofers; Paradigm was founded in 1982 by Jerry Vande Marel and Scott Bagby in Toronto, Ontario.

Paradigm offers several different speaker lines across a broad spectrum of prices. The speaker lines include the Cinema and Monitor Series, while the high-performance Paradigm Reference lines include the Millenia, Studio and Signature Series.

Music and movies are a sensory experience. And with Paradigm speakers, they deliver the ultimate-incomparable experience. The company dedicates itself to in-depth research on the behavior and qualities of sounds within different spatial organizations and material settings. Such commitment help explain Paradigm’s reputation for quality, consistency, and reliability. The company is known for their advanced techniques and proprietary in-house-designed software that lies at the heart of the design and elegance of Paradigm's musical and precision listening instruments.

“Stunning accuracy, a spacious soundstage with pinpoint localization, powerful, well defined bass and thrilling dynamics are hallmarks of Paradigm’s advanced speaker designs. For more than twenty-five years Paradigm has set the standard for sonic excellence in every product category we offer. Our focus on providing the best in performance and value means that we continue to push the boundaries of speaker design with each new generation of speakers.”

Let us not forget to mention the smooth dispersion and beautiful imaging that give Paradigm speakers such generous listening area and sound field. Listeners are always amazed with their consistency, and by the accuracy of Paradigm’s entire product line. Most importantly, every Paradigm component is manufactured in-house to extremely high tolerances and executed all the way down to the design and machining of the tooling. Opposed to many outside vendors, they are able to produce the highest quality product at the price that otherwise wouldn’t be fair. On another note, Paradigm shows great respect for the environment by incorporating extensive recycling, competitive efficiency in manufacturing, and using local natural resources.

Here is a taste of what they have to offer:

"While it's true, there are tiny satellite speakers aided by small subwoofers that can be 'hidden' in many living spaces, when it comes to great audiophile sound these systems have never delivered ... until Cinema. Incorporating award–winning Monitor Series technology, Cinema speakers (award–winners in their own right!) integrate beautifully, delivering the seamless music and home theater soundstage that is the hallmark of every Paradigm system. Cinema speakers (except the ADP) are magnetically shielded."
