    Should I repair Paradigm 5SE MKII speakers?

    Hey y'all, I'm kinda new here so I hope this is the right place to post this. Over the weekend I picked up a pair of Paradigm 5SE MKII bookshelf speakers for $40. When I picked them up I inspected both surrounds and they were in good shape. But! When I was headed home and hit a big bump in the...

    Paradigm 9se MK2

    I am confident to say that these are the best speakers I've owned thus far. The two 8 inch woofers deliver startling bass to the point that I am constantly checking my integrated amp to see if the bass knob has been turned up or if the loudness button is pushed in. I couldn't wait to hook...

    Older Paradigm bookshelf speakers: Atom V1 vs Mini Monitor V2

    Surprising discovery of small speakers at the local thrift for a reasonable price!

    Found a pair of Paradigm Atom v.3 at the local thrift for $16 today. Decent shape. Listened to them all afternoon in a near field application while I worked. A not bad, useful set of bookshelves, though the bass can get bloaty while the highs can be a bit sharpish. Pretty much in line with...
