About The Paradigm Cinema 100 2.0
When size and sound matter, the Paradigm Cinema 100 2.0 is an affordable duo that offers an affordable audiophile alternative that won't break the bank or fill your room with speaker boxes. The Paradigm Cinema 100 speakers are designed for smaller spaces but despite their compact size, they deliver a blockbuster music and home theatre experience.
For those new to Paradigm, they are a worldwide leader in speaker design and manufacturing. Their Cinema 100 speakers will put fear into the hearts of other brands because these compact speakers have the performance that so many other smaller speakers lack. Trickle-down technologies from the acclaimed Paradigm Reference lines combined with upgraded crossovers and a complete cabinet redesign along with best-in-class build materials make the Cinema 100 speakers a perfect entry point for aspiring audiophiles and home theatre enthusiasts alike.
Lot's Of Technology In Small Package: Re-engineered and redesigned from head to toe, starting with the build materials, Paradigm infused Cinema 100 speakers with Reference-quality crossovers, S-PAL satin-anodised pure-aluminium dome tweeters and wire-mesh tweeter guards with WaveGuide technology borrowed from the Reference Signature series, which encourage wide and spacious dispersion while protecting the sensitive dome surface. Mineral-filled polypropylene bass/midrange cones with added mineral content stiffen cone composition. Across the series, acoustic achievements include: lower frequency extension, flat response curves, further reduced distortion, sustained sensitivity and improved full dispersion.
Great Style: Aesthetically, Cinema 100 speakers include new curved and sculpted acoustic suspension cabinets with an industrial high-gloss finish, offering a modern appeal. Push-through binding posts with new Easy-Glide wire channels allow for painless installation and banana plug access. For placement flexibility without sacrificing performance, Paradigm equipped new Cinema 100 with the EasyMount™ wall-mounting system and contemporary tabletop stand option.
Our Take
"The original Cinema line was priced competitively with big box store compact theatre systems but offered customers a substantial improvement in audio performance," says Mark Aling, director of marketing for Paradigm. "Once people realised high-performance audio was available at such tremendous value, Paradigm assumed a leadership role in the audio industry. We are confident our new Cinema line will continue that legacy." We fully endorse Mark's comments!
