Paradigm's SUB 12 and SUB 15 subwoofers promise to dive deep, make a big splash
Replacing the well-regarded Servo-15 and Seismic 12 subwoofers, Paradigm has brought in the SUB 12 and SUB 15 to bring joy to your HT room. Borrowing some tech from the positively scary Signature SUB 25, the two new models are able to do away with the servo feedback-control while posting better performance across the "three Ls" -- louder, lower-frequency and lower-distortion. How does extension to 12-Hz on the SUB 15 and 16-Hz for the SUB 12 sound to you? Yeah, we thought so. Still, those last few hertz cost some money -- $1,999 and $2,799 for the Sub 12 and SUB 15, respectively. Still, few things in your HT will put a stupid grin on your face like bass you feel in your gut. Check the press release after the break and alert the neighbors before you pick one up.
Paradigm gives its Reference Studio speakers a bump to v.5
Paradigm has brought a revised Reference Studio speaker lineup to CES, bringing the line to v.5 designation. The aesthetics have been refreshed with new curvaceous cabinetry and updated grilles, and there are a few new speakers in the family as well. Leaving aside the incremental technical updates to the time-tested and solid design, the newness includes more members in the family -- the Studio 10, and the Reference SUB 12 and SUB 15 subwoofers. Prices range from $399 each for the Studio 10 and stretch up to $1,499 for the Studio 100 model. The Reference Studio recipe is a time-tested sonic winner and is easy on the eyes, so we don't see how this revision could miss the mark; your choice of options is detailed after the break.UPDATE: The prices are per speaker. - Thanks, MS4.
