“…with its dedicated midrange, delivering dialogue of even some challenging dated movie mixes with surprising intelligibility. In a way this comes at a price in that poor tracks are truly exposed for what they are but while lesser speakers simply blur everything, the Center 1 is your best chance at making the most of whatever you throw at it. With modern, responsibly mixed track, or even the most complex, crowded ones, the Center 1 not only keeps up, but veritably and almost single handedly, sells you on whole thing!”

“Well-recorded voices and solo instruments sounded impeccable, with tight imaging, good depth, and no significant blur or smear.”

“Although I found the appearance of the Monitor Series 7 speakers a bit average, their performance was anything but, and well worth hearing at your Paradigm dealer.”
Vince Hanada // SoundStage! Xperience // Read the review here

“Right out of the box, I was struck by both the smoothness and nuance of the Monitor 11’s… the 11’s sound quite refined and sophisticated (if I heard them in the dark and was told they were Paradigm Studio models, I might well have believed that assertion)… I could not help but note that the Monitor 11’s offer a really nice combination of bass extension, power and control.”

“Indeed, this is a cleverly balanced and involving design that ultimately lets the music do the talking… Good stuff, excellent value.”

“In short, as a full-range stereo reproducer, the Monitor 9s are very, very good.”
Daniel Kumin // Sound & Vision // Read the review here

“When properly setup in small to medium-sized rooms with components that favor musicality over features, the Monitor 7 is a fantastic all-rounder that competes favorably with others in and around its price class.”
Andrew Robinson // Home Theater Review // Read the review here

“…the Monitors were immensely satisfying on both music and movies. I never felt the need to rush through a listening session. In fact, on both movies and music, each session often lasted far longer than I had planned. If you’re shopping in this price range, or even twice that, you need to audition the Monitor Series 7.”
Tom Norton // Sound & Vision // Read the review here

“The speakers display the expected mini monitor (as in type not model name) virtues – excellent imaging and precise instrument placement, along with plenty of speed and an overall feeling of cohesion and driver integration.”
Ashley Kramer // Witch Doctor, NZ // Read the review here

“The Mini’s have what can only be described as remarkable bass for their enclosure and price. I’ve heard other speakers this size with comparable bass, but they were at least twice the price.”

“Apartment dwelling audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts should rejoice for they have yet another compact and affordable solution in the Mini Monitor v.7.”
Andrew Robinson // Home Theater Review // Read the review here

“If the latest Mini Monitor is anything to go by, Paradigm’s gen-seven redesign of the Monitor Series is an unqualified success. These speakers are voiced to mate gently with less expensive electronics but still have enough power handling to suit aggressive movie soundtracks and rock ’n’ roll… In general, these speakers would be great all-around performers at any price. At their asking price, they’re a superb value.”
Mark Fleischmann // Sound & Vision // Read the review here

“The highs were pinpoint sharp and detailed. The Minis seem capable of prodigious output, handling mucho watts, yet they won’t need as much as some of Paradigm’s other smaller speakers, these being a couple of dB more efficient. On the whole, they delivered a most satisfying listening experience.”

“Paradigm continues to refine its most affordable and most lauded bookshelf speaker…The impressive little Atom packs a lot of performance for not a lot of money.”
Best of 2013 Award // Home Theater Review // Read the review here

“I set out to see if an affordable two-way bookshelf speaker could live up to and recreate a scaled-down version of a true cinema experience in one’s own home. This is a test the Paradigm Atom Monitor speaker passed with flying colors.”

“Our summation of the Paradigm Atom Monitor 7? It’s as good a < $400/pair mini-monitor as we've found." Brent Butterworth // Sound & Vision // Read the review here

“…the speaker sounds remarkably robust in the bass for its size, exceedingly natural from the upper bass through the mids, and lively but extremely clean in the highs… Very highly recommended for those looking for a lot of music for very little money”
Doug Schneider // SoundStage! Hi-Fi// Read the review here

“Combine the Cinema Sub with three Cinema 200s and a pair (or quartet) of Cinema 100s (or a full set of 100s for smaller rooms), throw in an Anthem MRX receiver, and you’ve got the makings of a truly audiophile system that sounds as sumptuous with stereo material as with surround music and movies… Paradigm’s newly updated Cinema series speakers boast the sort of dynamics that you just don’t expect at this size and price point.”
Dennis Burger // Residential Systems // Read the full review here

“The Paradigm Cinema 100 CT is an outstanding speaker system. It boasts luxurious build quality and performance that’s a cut above your average compact package. That’s largely thanks to the subwoofer, which harnesses Paradigm’s considerable expertise in that particular field with tight, agile and muscular bass, but the sats play their part with a beautifully open and composed performance. Most impressive is how it makes you believe you’re listening to much bigger speakers, offering presence and authority beyond the norm – the mark of a truly triumphant compact system.”
Danny Phillips // Trusted Reviews // Read the full review here

“Voices were clean and uncoloured, even when Hollywood’s finest are shouting, and the sheer size of the sound belies the size of the boxes. This really is a system for someone who craves a big sound but wants to avoid room-dominating speakers… Paradigm’s 100CT speakers, and the subwoofer that goes with them, form a bit of a wonder package.”
Adam Rayner // Home Cinema Choice // Read the full review here

“…the Paradigm Cinema 100 CT is extremely forgiving of sources and source material, which means it doesn’t need the highest level of separates to perform at its best. All of these factors make the Cinema CT a well-balanced 5.1 system for any occasion.”
Alex Lezcano // Home Theater Review // Read the full review here

“The Cinema 100 CT will work happily with any decent AV receiver, it will make the most of the power on offer, it will move the room when asked and will do it all in a seamless blend between all of the speakers. Crucially, it will feel bigger and more exciting with movies, whilst sounding more complete with music than it peers, whose form may be bound by their function.”

“I was surprised – make that pleasantly surprised. Both by the sound the Paradigm Cinema 100CT produced and just how much I enjoyed them in my room.”
Jared Rachwalski // Secrets of Home Theater & High Fidelity // Read the full review here

“The Paradigm Cinema 100 CT is a great example of well-styled and engineered speaker system, that delivers great sound for a reasonable price.”
Robert Silva // About.com // Read the full review here

“From whisper-quiet to downright raucous, the 100s and especially the 200s exhibit the sort of wonderfully consistent, open, neutral frequency response you’d expect from much larger, much pricier speakers, with no significant loss of detail at low volumes and no real loss of clarity even far past the point where your four-legged family members are evacuating the room.”
Dennis Burger // Residential Systems // Read the full review here

“Even if you’ve heard a multitude of speakers in this size and price range that sound surprisingly good (and there are plenty), try to find another speaker system in this class that sounds so yummy across such a wide volume range and you’ve got your work cut out for you. The subtlest of sounds sashay into the listening space with a subtle confidence that’s impossible not to love. I’m hard pressed to think of another speaker I’ve heard of this size that sounds so wonderful at such low volumes.”
