Performance & Value

To produce a loudspeaker that meets our standards for performance and value, we took complete control of the manufacturing process, an unprecedented move at this price point. In our state-of-the-art North American facility, we have produced a loudspeaker that defies convention; a homegrown loudspeaker that benefits from innovations found throughout the Paradigm family of loudspeakers.

Patented Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA™) Tweeter and Midrange Lens Technology

Distinctive perforated lens in front of the tweeter and midrange drivers increase and smooth output without coloring the sound, while also protecting the drivers from getting damaged.

Patented Active Ridge Technology (ART™) Surrounds

Premier features Paradigm’s patented Active Ridge Technology (ART) surrounds, made in-house and overmolded directly onto each woofer and midrange cone. This design achieves greater excursion, for a 3dB gain in output and 50% reduction in distortion. Crafted from injection-molded thermoplastic elastomer, ART surrounds are more durable and more reliable, ensuring a lifetime of superior sound.

Crafted in Canada

Premier Series speakers are designed, engineered, and made in Paradigm’s state-of-the-art 225,000 ft2 Canadian facility. We chose heavy duty, non-resonant 3/4-inch MDF, with optimally placed interior bracing, and reinforced front baffles to ensure an audio performance beyond any other in this price range. Smooth front baffles, enhanced with 1-inch MDF, reduce diffraction and improve sound radiation characteristics. You can feel the Premier build quality that comes from true handcrafted manufacturing. Beautiful, furniture-grade finishes complete this new standard of performance and value.

Partnered with the NRC

Paradigm is partnered with Canada’s world-renowned NRC in ongoing research to reveal the true nature of sound and human hearing. Findings influence design and performance specs, resulting in a uniquely realistic listening experience, backed by sound science.

REIGN OF THE MINI-MONITORS II: PARADIGM PREMIER 200B

The sounds are sharp and direct, having a tactile quality—as if the speaker drivers are mechanically connected to my ears. I feel the music as much as I hear it.

PARADIGM PREMIER 7.1 SPEAKER SYSTEM & DEFIANCE X15 SUB REVIEW

This Paradigm Premier system achieves a very high level of fidelity considering the asking price. To my sensibilities, the best thing about the system is the availability of a center channel that’s a proper 3-way design and truly a match for the towers! Add the fact it’s all made in-house, in Canada, at a price that’s competitive and you can see why Paradigm is such a popular speaker brand.

PARADIGM PREMIER 200B SPEAKER REVIEW

The soundstage that it can throw is impressively large and makes singling out individual singers and instruments quite easy. With acoustic instruments, it is remarkable in reproducing the natural sound without coloration so that it sounds like the musician is in front of you. The bass response is good, and almost never left me wanting for more. If you never heard the 200B’s with a subwoofer you’d never know you were missing anything, but if you do pair them with ...

PARADIGM PREMIER 200B SPEAKER REVIEW

In summary, the Premier 200B speakers worked with a powerful high-end amp, and a lower powered amp in a receiver. The speakers always sounded clean, with good bass extension and crisp, clear high frequencies.

PARADIGM 200B SMALL MONITOR SPEAKER: IMPRESSIVE BOTTOM END FOR A SMALL LOUDSPEAKER.

There is a ton of competition in the $1000 speaker market. One of the things that many monitor type speakers have challenges with is a fast and deep bottom end without mid-bass bloat. The 200B does not have those issues commonly found in this price range.

PARADIGM PREMIER 700F SPEAKER SYSTEM REVIEW

The Premier range is far from the most expensive in Paradigm’s speaker lineup, but the performance and build quality that it offers lets it compete with speakers twice the price.

I'm VERY satisfied with this speaker. Used as a main speaker with a MARANTZ AVR (NR1711, 50 WPC), it's both efficient and accurate. A noticeable improvement over the B&Ws that these replaced. I use a subwoofer with these but I could be happy without one if need be. I often listen to these in a 2 channel mode and they never fail to impress. Value wise, I don't think there is anything out there that compares.
