    Paradigm Persona/Concept speakers -- this will be exciting!

    "Glimpsing the Possibilities


    This bold new concept, unveiled at Munich High End 2015, offers an exciting glimpse into the future of Paradigm engineering.

    The Paradigm & Anthem engineering teams have been working with a vision for more than five years. This journey of research, experiment, design, and development has culminated in a loudspeaker that is the amalgamation of superior acoustic components with bleeding-edge technological innovation. It is our most ambitious speaker design ever.

    Concept 4F is a true full-range hybrid loudspeaker, the perfect balance of powered woofers with a passive upper register array. It features TruExtent® Beryllium 1" tweeters and TruExtent® Beryllium 7" midrange drivers with perforated phase-aligning lenses, and four Ultra-High-Excursion Differential Drive 8.5" woofers in a vibration-cancelling configuration (two front-firing, two rear-firing). Each woofer pair is powered by a separate DSP-controlled 700 W RMS amplifier for a total of 1400 W RMS (2,800 W Dynamic Peak), and combined with exclusive technology like Anthem Room Correction (ARC™) capability. And then some.

    The result is a unique sonic platform that reinvents luxury performance in a loudspeaker and ushers in an audacious new era for Paradigm."

    If you can look beyond the mass market image of the brand, these speakers may give the current big boys a run for the money.
    I wonder if these speakers might be somewhat of a game changer.

    The speakers look really nice and the initial impressions were very good but more than a year after still no news about a product launch date or price, so I wouldn´t hold my breath.

    If it's what I heard st the nyc audio show it's pretty good
    It was a tiny room over treated and but rolled off in highs but overall sounded good. No boom in a powerful bass due to buoy in bass amps with dsp
