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

Yes...it makes for a BIG improvement. Every demo I've heard where at Altaira was in the system, folks listened, and then the Altaira(s) were removed, and folks immediately demanded the Altaira be put...
Altaira or Gemini CGS on...
