SIG-1.5R-30

“After hearing the Paradigm Signature ADP’s and 1.5R-30’s with 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, I am a firm believer in its ability to envelop the viewer in the movie’s sound and music. Now if only we could have every movie expertly mixed in 7.1. Absolutely check out Paradigm’s Signature collection of in-wall and in-ceiling speakers if you are looking for the ultimate in performance, without taking up an inch of floor space.”

Marantz SR8012

“If you’re looking for a single-box solution to all your immersive audio needs then the 11-channel Marantz SR8012 should definitely be on your short list. This AV Receiver is beautifully designed and very well made, with as comprehensive a set of connections as you’re likely to find and crucially all of its 8 HDMI inputs and 3 HDMI outputs support 4K/60p, 4:4:4, 3D, Rec.2020, HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision and HDCP 2.2.”
Steve Withers // AV Forums // Read the review here

 

“With the ability to decode ALL of the latest immersive surround CODECS (including Auro-3D), easy to use OSD, bulletproof HDMI functionality, Audyssey editor App, and HEOS music management, what’s not to like about the latest SRXX12 line of receivers from Marantz?”

“The SR8012 has some of the most flexible input assignability I’ve seen in an AV receiver, rivaling even some dedicated AV processors. Unlike many competitor products, you can actually assign analog and digital ports to ANY input instead of having prescribed HDMI ports assigned for specific inputs.”

Prestige 15B

“The Paradigm Prestige 15B compact small speaker is a serious audiophile speaker designed for small rooms and listening in the near and midfield. Within 10 feet of the listening position, these speakers are extremely articulate with excellent stereo imaging and depth. Many of my reference hi-res tracks were impressively showcased through the Prestige 15B pair.”
John Gatski // Everything Audio Network // Read the review here

 

“The Paradigm Prestige series combines state-of-the-art design, ingenious engineering, and superb build quality with voicing that I found cinematically and musically unerring.”

Prestige 95F

“These speakers seriously rocked on movies and the performance on two-channel music was so intoxicating that sometimes I started to feel the speakers were tailor made for whatever song I was listening to until the next song came on and then I thought the speakers were made just for that song. This is what you get with properly engineered speakers – you get performance that works for all sorts of material and uses.”
Jim Clements // Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity // Read the review here

 

“…the Prestige 95Fs are likely to satisfy with dynamic, challenging two-channel material, even when driven by a modestly powered amplifier in a large space.”
Thomas J. Norton // Stereophile // Read the review here

 

“…as soft reboots go, the Prestige Series in general and the 95F in particular make a heck of a first impression. I just can’t wait to hear where Paradigm goes from here.”
Dennis Burger // Home Theater Review // Read the review here

 

“The Reference Prestige 95F is a beauty of a loudspeaker, especially in its optional Midnight Cherry finish, the quality of which easily exceeded even my high standards. With a sophisticated, cultured sound and bass extension to die for, the flagship of Paradigm’s new Prestige line is as arresting to listen to as it is to look at. Paradigm appears to have come up with another winner!.”

Prestige 85F

“Aesthetically I could not fault the 85F. It is easily one of the most sleek and elegant speakers you can buy in this price category and the wife acceptance is likely to be very high. I find it hard to imagine any décor that they would not just complement but actually enhance.”
Malcolm Gomes // Canada HiFi // Read the review here

 

The new Prestige Series is a beautiful speaker, the design and aesthetic are superb, and I can’t imagine anyone not wanting them on view in their living space. Every detail is well thought out; the lack of mounting screws, for the drivers, the brushed aluminum cones and rings, the slightly eased edges and that amazing finish.”

Prestige 75F

“…overall, it’s a solid win. The ultimate test is how it sounds, and the 75F—especially in terms of its non-grating, open, natural midrange presentation—scores big here. These are speakers you could enjoy every day.”
Steve Feinstein // Audioholics.com // Read the review here

 

“Even as a longtime Paradigm owner, I wasn’t prepared for the performance their newest offering delivers. The Prestige 75F escalates past Paradigm strengths, adding a level of resolution and refinement that is rarely available at this price. Add major factory and dealer support and that adds up to a winner.”
Mark Marcantonio // TONEAudio Issue 77 // View Issue 77 here

 

“I was completely impressed. The first thing I noticed was the speakers’ ability to produce a big, airy soundstage. I also found the 75Fs to produce fast dynamics… I believe these loudspeakers can give more expensive offerings a run for their money. The 75Fs are smooth with very good top- and bottom-end extension. They throw a big soundstage and offer lots of detail. While maybe a touch forward sounding, the midrange is transparent and delivers a lot of clean resolution. I’ve heard a lot of Paradigm speakers over the years and if the 75Fs are a good representation of the series, I’m comfortable calling the Prestiges the best speakers the company has ever engineered.”

Millenia 20

“With the Millenia 20, Paradigm shows just how good slim a tower can sound. The parts and build quality alone are more than worth the cost. This speaker is at its best right where it counts, in the musically sensitive midrange, and the sub takes up the slack in the bass department. These are among the few wall-huggers that sound not just good but great.”

Millenia LP XL

“I felt the Millenia LP speakers performed better than I was expecting and I would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends. They looked beautiful on the walls, provide high quality sound and were easy to set up.”
