Paradigm Atom Monitor Book shelf Speakers, Cherry, Rosewood, Black Ash (Pair)
No Need to Give Up Fidelity to Get Loud!
Paradigm’s Monitor Series, with its proprietary SuperDrive™ technology, combines very high-efficiency with very high output and ultra-low distortion. Monitor speakers compete directly with the efficiency and output of major brands of horn speakers—they not only play as loud, their sound is authentically high-end. Even with moderately powered amplifiers, Monitor speakers deliver truly breathtaking performance. And in classic Paradigm tradition, unparalleled value too!
Advanced High-Efficiency M-ICP™ Minimum-Mass Injection-Molded Co-Polymer Bass/Midrange Cones teamed with advanced motor structures and oversized magnets provide exceptional sensitivity, superb power handling and truly tremendous output.
Advanced High-Power Carbon-Infused Bass Cones, highly damped and extremely rigid, provide tight, superbly defined and incredibly well-extended bass response.
Elevated Tweeter and Advanced WaveGuide™ Chassis foster exceptionally uniform response across a wide, deep listening window.
Low-Diffraction Magnetic Grilles fit like a glove! Perfectly centered over the baffle, when in position these stay-tight grilles won’t move ‘til you move them. Outrigger Feet on Floorstanding Models give added stability and stylish good looks. Nickel-plated screws add a high-tech touch.
Advanced H-PTD™ High-Efficiency Pure-Titanium Domes with ferro-fluid cooling encourage a winning combination of dome rigidity and low mass. Harmonics and air possess breathtaking clarity and accuracy. The result is performance that rivals far more expensive high-end speaker designs.
High-Pressure Die-Cast Aluminum or GRIP™ Glass - Reinforced Injection-Molded Polymer Chassis (varies by model) are exceptionally rigid to eliminate flexing and ringing, while also functioning as heatsinks for greater power handling.
