I’ve heard of Paragon, but never Metregon!

I was browsing the Canuck Audio Mart listings of speakers, and came across this beauty.

Pictures for posterity.



Does anyone know anything about this beast? Not that I would buy it, but it is a beauty.

Not affiliated in any way.

Interesting read. Funny, I didn’t even consider doing a search. I normally do that whenever I see something interesting like this.

The minigon is closer to my budget.

Actually almost the same price. The $24k figure was Canadian $$.

For the guy with the Metrogon I'd suggest a bigger house!

Yes, you could make it the centrepiece! Some people use grand pianos, some use paragon or metregon.

Didn't Metregon battle Godzilla in one of those old movies?

If this amazes, look up the Minigons - they are the smallest of this JBL central speaker design!

There is a Mothra and a Mechagodzilla though. Metrogon would make a great name for a creature!

Thanks Heather! I agree, they are pretty cool. I knew about the Minigons because of that recent thread here, but had never heard of the Metregon. That is a gorgeous mini version of the paragon.
