System Overview
This system offers tremendous bang for your buck and is attainable for most. It features a Yamaha home theatre receiver from their top tier Aventage range as well as a selection of kick ass Paradigm speakers that will fill your space with spacious Dolby Atmos surround sound.
This system is centred around the very capable Yamaha RX-A2A home theatre receiver which delivers detailed high-resolution music and realistic, three-dimensional Dolby Atmos and DTS:X surround sound. Advanced video processing with support for 8K gives you an excellent picture on your compatible high definition TV or projector. It also features Yamaha MusicCast which will stream all your music and, with additional speakers, can provide a true whole house multi-room listening experience.
The Yamaha RX-A2A AV Receiver comfortably powers a complete set of Paradigm's Monitor SE speakers that offer fantastic value for money and great sound quality. The Monitor SE 6000F floorstanders are perfectly matched by the 2000C centre channel and Monitor Classic Surround 1 rears, while the mighty Defiance V12 12" powered subwoofer gives a sense of depth and urgency to the system that makes it quite addictive to listen to both on music and when watching movies or live sport.
Yamaha RX-A2A 8K Home Theatre Receiver
The Yamaha RX-A2A Home Theatre Receiver is the first of the new Aventage series to hit the market and it has been well worth the wait. This AV receiver incorporates a comprehensive list of up-to-date features including Dolby Atmos Height Virtualizer & the option of wireless rear speakers which gives you all sorts of choices to enhance your home entertainment experience.
The latest Yamaha Aventage AVR's have a classy new look that gives them a mature air that perfectly reflects the serious nature of these home theatre receivers. The RX-A2A may be the entry into the Aventage range but it has a lot going for it and very little missing. Of course, being Aventage, it comes with a 4 year warranty and a 1 year DOA replacement warranty which provides perfect peace of mind in your new purchase. As with all Yamaha products, the RX-A2A is incredibly simple to set up and use and it has a wide range of cutting edge audio visual features combined with a robust, high slew rate, seven channel amplifier stage that will make your surround system sound quick, clear and dynamic.
What may seem like small details - a solidly built double-bottomed chassis - separate power supplies for digital and analogue circuitry - all add up to better performance and this is all supported by an industry best full 4 year manufacturer's warranty. In fact, Yamaha have such confidence in the Aventage receiver product line-up that if any fault should develop in the first year of ownership, they will exchange it for a brand-new unit! These advanced Yamaha receivers are optimised to sound their best, with high-quality components and an attention to detail designed to satisfy the most discerning ears. The Aventage RX-A2A gives you the best of both worlds; fun features and fantastic sound to heighten your enjoyment of music, movies, TV and video games.

Paradigm Classic Surround 1 Rear Speakers
Paradigm's Monitor Series, with its proprietary SuperDrive™ technology is seen here in the Paradigm Classic Surround 1. The Paradigm Classic Surround 1 is a great example of the right approach to speaker design. It uses a similar bass driver to those found in the Monitor SE series. The same approach applies to the Tweeter. The two 25mm Dome Tweeters used in the Surround 1 are based on those used in the Paradigm Monitor SE series. In fact, all the products in the Monitor series utilise this same Tweeter design which significantly contributes to cost-efficiencies at manufacturing level.
As soon as you see the Classic Surround 1, you will see that Scott Bagby (Paradigm Co-Founder) takes surround sound speaker design seriously. This Canadian designed surround speaker is a bi-directional radiator with the sound being delivered to both sides, creating a superb wide and open surround sound effect. The Surround 1's are well constructed and come complete with heavy duty gold-plated speaker wire binding posts. They should be aligned at either side of your main listening position. You will love how their sound field will wrap around the back of your room.

For intense bass performance with no gimmicks, the Paradigm Defiance V12 Subwoofer offers amazing value and will be right at home in your home theatre or stereo system.

"When bass is properly reproduced, it is the foundation in music and movie soundtracks," said Keith Dowd, Director of US Sales, Paradigm. "It's easy to design a subwoofer that makes a lot of noise, but a subwoofer with vanishingly low distortion that sounds as good as a high performance speaker can only come from a company that knows how to design and build high performance speakers."

If you want to fit plugs to each end of all the speaker cables you will need a total of 20 plugs, 10 red & 10 black.
A 3 metre QED Performance subwoofer cable is supplied, with the usual RCA plugs fitted to each end, to connect from a home theatre receiver or amplifier to a subwoofer.
