About The Paradigm Monitor SE 2000C Centre Speaker
The Paradigm Monitor SE Series is the goldilocks speaker range from Paradigm. Not too big, not too small, conservatively styled yet classy, impeccable fit and finish, the choice of Matte Black or Gloss White and a range to suit most domestic situations. Best of all, the price is spot on, showing you don't need to spend a fortune to get a great all 'round product at a truly affordable price. Go Paradigm.
The stylish and affordable new Monitor SE 2000C Centre Channel is the perfect introduction to the world of high-performance audio. Sure it's packed with state-of-the-art technology, the kind of stuff only found on speakers that cost much more. But more important, the new Monitor SE Series is part of the Paradigm family of high-performance loudspeakers, and just like all Paradigm loudspeakers it's engineered to change the way you think and feel about your entertainment.
Built on Research: Monitor SE loudspeakers benefit from Paradigm's fundamental research into the science of sound. This research, conducted by Paradigm in conjunction with the Canadian National Research Council, has resulted in many of the innovative materials and patented audio technologies found throughout Paradigm speakers. Imagine lifelike musical performance in any listening space; breathtaking effects and realistic imaging details that bring your music & movies to life.
Tweeters: X-PAL Pure-Aluminium Dome Tweeters with exclusive Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA™) Lens. This patent pending design acts as a refined phase plug, blocking a wide range of out-of-phase frequencies which increases and smooths output without colouring the sound. Both visually stunning and functional, Paradigm's signature PPA Lens technology improves performance while also protecting the tweeter from getting damaged.
Mid/Bass Drivers: High-performance mineral-filled polypropylene cones with inverted dust caps are lightweight and rigid. Downroll surrounds give them a clean, low-profile look.
Enclosures: Beautiful Monitor SE speaker cabinets, with their unmistakably European fit and finish, complement today's most stylish décor. Each model is available in high-gloss white or matte black finishes.
Our Take
The Paradigm Monitor SE line is the new entry-level gateway to the Paradigm family. It lives up to the Paradigm performance reputation in every way, and offers an audiophile experience at a surprisingly affordable price. We were thinking that the previous Paradigm Monitor Series would be a hard act to follow. Ha! Paradigm seems to pull off the impossible with consummate ease and has dished up the next level in affordable speakers with the Monitor SE Series. Stylish, smooth dynamic sound, great finishes, good proportions and very fair prices make this Monitor SE range the go to speaker at anywhere near this price point. Come in and have a look, we're sure you'll agree.
