“The MartinLogan Motion 40 floorstanding speaker is a luxury product for a modest price having a strong musical voice to go with a beautiful, well-made cabinet.”

Motion 15

“A pretty face and practical too – what’s not to like?… We really rate the Motion 15s. Their delicate, detailed and agile performance impresses us, and they’re great fun to listen to.”

“Agile, communicative, competent and complete, what’s not to like? There’s a few exciting new compact monitors appearing at present; MartinLogan’s Motion 15 could just be the surprise package that upsets the applecart. Buy, enjoy and even if you upgrade later, keep them for that rainy day; they’re guaranteed to put a smile on your face.”

Illusion ESL C34A

“After three months of living with the Illusion center channel speaker, placed in an already top-tier home theater system, the improvement that it provided over my Stage X was evident in the natural spaciousness of the sound stage and a nigh-perfect blend with the acoustic properties of the CLXs.”
Lawrence D. Devoe, MD, TheaterByte.com // Read the review here

 

“In short the Illusion ESL C34A is a world-class center channel. If you have a MartinLogan system, it is a no-brainer. And if you are not a MartinLogan owner, all hope is not lost, since the ESL C34A’s tone-control capabilities provide some flexibility to blend this center channel with other speakers.”

D2v 3D

“The Statement D2v 3D is a great example of a product that was designed with high performance in mind. The Statement D2v 3D doesn’t have all the latest features, but it delivers excellent audio and video performance for both two-channel stereo and multi-channel music and movies alike.”
Robert Kozel, Secrets of Home Theater & High Fidelity // Read the review here

 

“If you desire nothing but the very best for your home theatre, I can’t think of a better component to place at the heart of your system. The Anthem D2v A/V processor is a winner in every regard and hence deserves our highest level of praise. For being the best A/V processor we ever tested, we proudly award it the “Editor’s Choice” recognition.”
Suave Kajko, Canada HiFi // Read the review here

 

“The high-performing, feature-rich Anthem Statement D2v is one of the great products of today, with features and versatility that, tomorrow, won’t be expected but demanded. It’s a glimpse of the future — right now.”

PW 300

“For a compact, affordable Wi-Fi speaker, Paradigm’s PW 300 delivered great sound. The little PW 300 impressed me most when I paired two of them in a stereo configuration, but I also really liked what I heard when listening with a single speaker. You could pay almost twice as much for a pair of Paradigm’s PW 600s, which include Anthem Room Correction and produce, presumably, more and better bass, but the PW 300s sounded good enough that I’m not sure most people would need to. In a world awash with compact Wi-Fi speakers, the PW 300 is a standout.”

H15

“We found the H15 delivered a pleasant, “warm and fuzzy” sound signature, notable for its velvety low end, and soft, sculpted upper register. Though the highly voiced sound of the H15 won’t be for everyone, we think many listeners will enjoy its comfortable, relaxed approach to music reproduction, especially with so many competing headsets taking such an aggressive sonic stance these days.”

H15NC

“If you’re looking for comfortable headphones with active noise-cancelling, I definitely suggest trying out these Paradigms – especially if you’re travelling by air as low-frequency noise such as engine noise should be well in the range of their noise-cancellation abilities. And the 40-hour battery life should last for most round trips.”
Canada HiFi // Read the review here

 

“Comfort-wise, I felt the Paradigm H15NC’s will appeal to most head sizes and ear shapes. I found the memory foam padding to be quite comfortable and eased some of the discomfort I often find with on-ear (as opposed to around-ear) designs.”

Shift A2

“The Paradigm A2 is a flexible desktop speaker that… provides very pleasing sound and a broad soundstage when run in a pair. If you’ve been living with a set of cheap “computer” speakers, it’s well worth your while to audition them.”
Christopher Breen, Macworld // Read the review here

 

“A 2012 Golden Ear recipient, the cleverly named Shift A2 is more than just a serious loudspeaker—it’s a winning example of forward thinking. Compact, internally powered, equipped with DSP bass-management, and packed with enough back-panel inputs to connect to almost any source, it is what 21st century entry-level high end is all about.”

PW Soundbar

“Paradigm has packed a lot of features and performance into its new PW Soundbar. Its connectivity is second to none–with aptX Bluetooth, AirPlay, and Play-Fi on the wireless side and HDMI 2.0a with HDR/3D pass-through, optical digital, and analog ins on the wired side. Combine that with its Anthem Room Correction capabilities, which allow you to tune the PW Soundbar, as well as a connected subwoofer and wireless surround speakers, to compensate for the exact acoustic peculiarities of your room, and you can understand why I’m more inclined to compare it to a full-blown component surround sound system than other soundbars. There are trade-offs, to be sure; however, purely in terms of audio performance, it more than holds its own with any number of highly regarded small-to mid-sized speaker systems.”
