Paradigni
FROM
GARAGE
BRAND
TO
INTERNATIONAL
SUPERSTAR!
In
the
ear~
1980s
Paradigm
was
jus
t an idea
in
the
minds
of a couple of
twenty-somethings
who loved
mus
ic and wanted
to
share
the
love.
There
was no
225
,000-squore-foot
Paradigm
factory ,
no
on-site
anechoic
measuremen
t chamber,
no
250+
employees, no
Paradigm
brand. Back
in
the
day,
there
was j
ust
this
crazy idea
to
bui
ld
really really
good
sounding
speakers
on a shoestring
budget. A li
ttle
over
twenty
five
years
later
, a
ll
of
the
above ore a reality.
Paradigm
speakers
are
sold
on
six
continents!
When
someone
asks
on
an
A/V
chat forum
, at a h
ouse
party,
in
a d
ub
or
at a
oockyard
barbecue:
"Which
speakers
should I buy?
,"
chances
are
someone
's gonna
say:
"
Buy
Paradigms
." And
the
shoestring
thing?
It sti
ll
applies
...
the
pri
ce you pay
for
what
you
get
is
why
Paradigm
has
been
voted
#1 Best P
rice/Value
more than
20
times"
!
And
we're
not the
only
ones
who
think
we
make
really
really
good
speakers
.
OUR
SPEAKERS
HAVE
BEE
N IN
SOME
OF
THE
SWEETEST
SPOTS ...
