Seismic™ 110: Alpha Dog of Compact Industrial Design Subwoofers

"Admit it: The first thing that went through your head when you saw this diminutive little powerhouse was, ‘Ahwww, how cute.’ Right? With its sleek, curvilinear diecast monocoque exterior and its oversized paws tucked neatly underneath, one can’t help but look at this little fellow and wish it had a chin to scratch.

But, as my dad is fond of saying, ‘Frisk this puppy at the wrong time and you’re liable to draw back a nub.’ Despite its adorable looks, the Seismic 110 boasts one bodacious bark—and just as big a bite. In addition to its ultra-low-distortion split-coil driver design, the subwoofer also features an Ultra-Class-D amplifier, and the 10-inch woofer cone is capable of two full inches of travel, giving it an unbelievably deep voice for such a petite little frame.

Price: affordable. (Newspapers and chew toys not included.)"

PARADIGM PRESTIGE 15B SPEAKER SYSTEM REVIEW

Paradigm spent a lot of time and money refining this unique sub, and the results are both visible and audible... The center and sub were a perfect marriage for voices of both genders, never localizing in the sub. In fact, the 80-Hz sub crossover worked beautifully for everything... The Paradigm Prestige series combines state-of-the-art design, ingenious engineering, and superb build quality with voicing that I found cinematically and musically unerring. Speakers ...

PARADIGM MILLENIA LP XL AND LP 2 SPEAKERS AND SEISMIC 110 SUBWOOFER SPEAKER REVIEW

The Seismic 110 was a stellar performer (greatly enhanced by the PBK) and because of the software, can be placed almost anywhere in your room within reason and be optimized for your listening location. I thought that the design of the sub was quite unique and certainly not your typical "big black box" on the floor. It was a veritable cast-aluminum canon, heavy and potent.

PARADIGM REFERENCE MILLENIAONE / SEISMIC 110 HOME-THEATER SPEAKER SYSTEM

If I were looking for a compact lifestyle system, this one would be at the top of my list. The MilleniaOnes and Seismic 110 cost a little more than many small sat-sub systems, but cost a lot less than I would have expected considering their outstanding performance.

THE NEOTERIC LISTENER... PARADIGM AND JOLIDA!

...the seamless integration of the Seismic 110 made a staggering improvement in the enjoyment of both music and movies... the Seismic 110 delivered really fine low level information for the money. The Seismic 110 and the Paradigm 20 v.5s bring out the best in each other, all to the good for the fortunate listener who needs a full sound without sacrificing a lot of floor space.

PARADIGM SEISMIC 110 SUBWOOFER REVIEW

...the performance boost the on-board PBK EQ system delivers and it is worth every penny if you have a less than perfect room, like most people in fact do. Even if that weren't the case, the raw performance is a match for anything I've heard remotely close to the size and gives good cause for concern to some well established sealed boxes of similar price and even larger dimensions.

PARADIGM MILLENIAONE/SEISMIC 110

The sub can produce lashings of power, but it's one of the more compact designs we've seen. Its curved cabinet is an unusual but stylish alternative in a world of square and boxy monoliths... a sound trail that travels with detail and assertion from front to rear. This package is a smooth and easy listen, with an attention to detail to marvel at.

PARADIGM REFERENCE SEISMIC 110 SUBWOOFER

The Paradigm Seismic 110 subwoofer is a freak. It is very small, lightweight as subwoofers go; yet capable of playing very loud, very low, and very clean. It will blow away subwoofers that are bigger, heavier, and in some cases, more expensive. Highly recommended!

-- Ross Jones , Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity

PARADIGM SEISMIC 110 REVIEW

The Seismic 110 was musical and grippy, fast with no appreciable overhang. Yet equally it enjoys reaching right down into the fear zone, even in the midst of other bass, and has effortless depth...the Paradigm handled all of this with effortless power, skilled articulation and rich profundity... a demon amongst compact subs... This Bulldog's got bite!
