HANDS ON: ANTHEM ELECTRONICS, PARADIGM STUDIO SERIES

I also incorporated the Studio Series complementary Sub 12 subwoofer into the surround-sound system, which provided more than enough bottom end to enhance the bookshelf-size front channels. I set the crossover right around 80 Hz, and barely hit the volume dial to 10 o'clock in unleashing the dual 850-watt front-firing power.

PARADIGM REFERENCE STUDIO SPEAKER SYSTEM

"Powerful" doesn't quite cut it when describing this sub in that its output seemed unlimited...

Implementing PBK just ices the cake.

PARADIGM STUDIO SUB 12 SUBWOOFER REVIEW

Honestly, it's hard to do anything but gush about the SUB 12. On its own, it's a fantastic subwoofer'rich and nuanced, with a perfect voice for music and more than enough power for movies. Throw in the Perfect Bass Kit (or ARC if you have an Anthem processor), and quite frankly one of the best 12-inch subs I've heard in its class is elevated into another category altogether.
