illenia™speakers offer sophisticated state-of-the-art Paradigm®Reference technology wrapped in a sleek lifestyle design to complement today’s flat-panel televisions.
Just like their more traditionally styled counterparts, Millenia
speakers of fer breathtaking music reproduction that lays bare the very essence of the original performance! And that complex mix of dialog, music and action effects that make up a movie’s soundtrack? Millenia
delivers it with a realism that no other high-end lifestyle system can! Sound & Vision magazine had this to say: “… beautiful and chic … dynamic and powerful … quick and highly detailed … superb imaging … dialog remained resolutely clear … no sign of distress even in the most dynamic passages.”
The slim Millenia
20 Trio takes lifestyle design a step further! Three main speakers in one fabulously sleek lifestyle cabinet—a left front speaker, a right front speaker and a center channel— a superb single-cabinet alternative for those who want to streamline and simplify their music and home theater setup without sacrificing even an ounce of high-end sound quality.
Although the Trio can hold its own when it comes to delivering the lower frequencies with clean, clear, well-extended bass performance, just like all Millenia
speakers it is d esigned to be use d with
a subwoofer. For a truly unforgettable music and home theater experience, pair it with a Paradigm
®
Reference SUB 12.
Towers of power. A swanky high-performance system that works in even the most style-conscious homes.”

High-Frequency Drive Units
Like all Paradigm®Reference high-frequency drivers, Millenia™drivers exhibit breath­taking timbral clarity and a transparency that is comparable to the very best electrostatic or ribbon designs. Exceptionally smooth, vividly detailed and free of any spurious resonances, their performance is simply unmatched in high-end lifestyle design.
S-PAL
Satin-Anodized Pure-Aluminum Domes:
Deep-anodized for exceptional rigidity and paired with a low-mass treated textile suspension. Highs are spacious, clear, silky smooth and exceptionally well extended.
Rigid High-Pressure Die-Cast Aluminum Chassis:
Eliminate mechanical flexing and ringing and effectively dissipate heat—a tweeter’s foremost adversary.
Critical Coupling of Phase-Alignment Bridge and Elevated Dome:
Extremely flat frequency response with optimal off-axis dispersion.
Dual Magnets and Advanced Motor Structures:
Computer-optimized using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), a highly advanced tool for component design that helps us model a structure with an intense magnetic field force in the gap. Power handling and output linearity are superb under all conditions.
High-Power Apical
Formers:
High-power, high-temperature voice coils and ventilated Apical
formers ensure
high-power handling, low distortion and long-term reliability.

Midrange and Bass Drive Units
Our ears are particularly attuned to lower treble and midrange frequencies— we instinctively recognize sound anomalies, deviations from what is ‘natural.’ Paradigm engineers know this and in their exhaustive testing, re-testing, listening and learning they have developed drivers that have no equal in the high-end lifestyle speaker category …
MLP
Mica-Loaded-Polymer Midrange and Bass/Midrange Cones:
High stiffness-to-mass ratio of polypropylene and the exceptional damping properties of the injected mica ensure performance that is accurate, lifelike, wonderfully detailed and critically revealing.
HTD
Heat Transfer and Dissipation System—Our Proprietary Design:
High-pressure die-cast aluminum chassis cradles the entire neodymium magnet structure. The resulting increase in surface area provides for exceptional heat transfer and dissipation. Exterior heatsink fins reinforce the cooling and dissipation process.
Solid-Aluminum Phase Plugs:
Not only do they look good, they maintain linear response and play an important role in improving airflow for significant gains in heat dissipation.
Overdesigned Nitrile-Butadiene Rubber (NBR) Surrounds
and Nomex
Spiders:
NBR is known for its excellent damping properties and reliability (particularly under extreme conditions). The Nomex
polyamide spider helps promote
extended, very linear excursion and ultra-low distortion.
Precision-Engineered Mineral-Filled Polypropylene Bass Cones:
The injection of mineral into the polypropylene ensures a high stiffness-to­mass ratio and excellent internal damping. The result is high output with minimal distortion and excellent extension—free of cone standing waves and micro distortions.
Oversize Magnet Assemblies with Symmetrical Focused Field Geometry:
Low distortion and unparalleled linearity even under extreme conditions.
Advanced Motor Structures:
Lightweight high-temperature copper-clad aluminum-wire voice coils. A rigid, low-mass design wound on vented Kapton
®
polyamide formers. Excellent linear
response regardless of cone excursion.
High-End Touches
Ultra-Slim Extruded-Aluminum Enclosures:
At a fraction of the thickness of typical wood enclosures, the extruded design affords all the benefits of a larger speaker in a significantly slimmer package, with no noticeable internal resonances. The dramatic side curvature not only adds a touch of class, it also provides additional structural integrity.
Premium Finish:
Millenia
speakers come in a highly polished Black Chrome finish.
High-Velocity Low-Noise Aluminum Ports:
Bass efficiency and minimal turbulence distortion for cleaner and more articulate bass response.
Magnetically Attached Speaker Grilles
Tempered Glass Base on Floorstanding Models
Millenia
speakers are designed to be used with a subwoofer. For unforgettable
music and home theater performance add a Paradigm
