Paradigm Monitor Series v.6 Loudspeakers Introduced

Design and engineering updates make Paradigm’s affordable high-end Monitor series even more of a tremendous value.

By “tweaking for perfection” the sixth incarnation of its acclaimed Monitor Series, Paradigm today improved the best value in loudspeakers. The re-vamped Monitor line retains all of the same technology as the v.5 series while adding updates such as modified phase-coherent crossovers, redesigned magnetic grilles and a luxurious new finish. For individual product updates, the Titan Monitor gains a new rear port as well as an updated voice coil for even better bass response.

In response to customer and dealer feedback, Paradigm did a complete re-design of the Monitor v.6 grilles. The new magnetic grilles feature ultra-low diffraction with re-worked, reinforced placement of the magnets to ensure the grilles will stay perfectly centered over the baffle at all times and not move unless removed.

For aesthetics, Paradigm added nickel-plated screws to all bookshelf, floorstanding and center-channel speakers to provide a lustrous, high-tech touch. Made popular by luxury furniture manufacturers, all v.6 models are also available in a chic new Wenge (pronounced wengay) finish. When black, rosenut or cherry don’t match a room’s decor, customers now have the option of wenge, a dark brown, almost black, finish with fine pencil-thin, light tan lines interspersed with blackish brown stripes.

“When you have something that works and sells as well as our Monitor Series, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to re-invent it top to bottom,” says Paradigm Marketing Manager Mark Aling. “However, if the R&D team identifies something that can be improved, even incrementally, our philosophy is that such changes enhance the value of the product. Paradigm’s customers and dealers deserve the best value possible, and that’s what Monitor Series v.6 is all about.”

Paradigm’s SuperDrive™ technology, first introduced in Series v.5, remains a vital component of the Monitor Series. SuperDrive combines very high efficiency with very high output and ultra-low distortion. Combined with the tweaked crossover design, even moderately powered amplifiers allow the Monitor Series v.6 speakers to deliver a higher level of performance than ever before. Because of their high efficiency and power handling, Monitor Series v.6 speakers hold their own in terms of efficiency and output with major brands of horn speakers. In non-level-matched a/b comparisons, the new Monitor speakers not only play as loud, but their sound is authentically high-end. Compared to all other major speaker brands, when it comes to playing loud, Monitor v.6 speakers lead the way–not just in their product category, but compared to speakers selling at more than twice the price!
