It brings back the “what matters most” of the hobby: People enjoying music and movies, not sweating whether their gear sounds good… because it does. At Paradigm they seem to remember that’s the goal, and with the Monitor SE series, they achieve it. It’s a Top Choice for a an “affordable premium” speaker system.

PARADIGM DEFIANCE V12 SUBWOOFER

The Defiance V12 really did perform admirably, especially considering its price. I think just about any bass head who experienced what I did in my listening room would walk away satisfied and impressed -- and the unsatisfied would be glad to know that I never got close to the maximum setting of the V12’s volume control.

PARADIGM DEFIANCE X12 AND V12 SUBWOOFERS REVIEW

The Defiance V12 is a fine affordable subwoofer for modest systems, but the X12 is a beastmaster of a 12” subwoofer that defies its moderate cabinet size to produce powerful bass that can punch you in the lungs.
