P.S. We need a Paradigm thread under Manufacturer Forums. :)

Very cool!!! I thought I was the only one who likes Paradigms (starting with the Studio line anyway) Wow! After reading the whole thing, my Paradigm Studios are even better than I thought. Class act them Paradigm peoples! Impressive manufacturing, not only in specs, but also in all other aspects such as finishing, etc. and just the fact that everything is made in-house and not outsourced, not only providing jobs to nice folks in Canada, but keeping it real and taking some pride in the work and product. Thank you Canada for giving us great Paradigm speakers, Martin Logan speakers (I just learned) and Rush (and a few other great artists, Gordon Lightfoot, Sarah McLachlan to name a couple more)! It doesn't get much better. I had no idea Paradigm made Martin Logan speakers, interesting I'm a little prouder in a genuine/non-arrogant way of my Paradigm Studios now after reading the article. ~Eric
 
Well, Bob it looks like the idea for adding a Paradigm section to the manufacture section isn't going to fly. I just sat and listened to a Moody Blues album and a Yes album through them and still no Paradigm section over there. Oh well, they are to enjoy in private, not to talk about in threads.

(I wonder if any of the guys in Rush drive Paradigms in their home systems? That would be most fitting).

Thanks for the post Bob. I had no idea that Paradigm manufactures speakers for Martin Logan.

Bob, THEY ARE (Parent Co) …….'Martin Logan'. The company was sold and production moved out out of Lawrence, Ks back in 2011 I believe

No no Eric, don't worry; Mike has just to notice my suggestion, that's all. :)

* Paradigm has some terrific subwoofers (one of them a true Reference at $10,000 that can destroy your house's structure).
And the Signature Series loudspeakers which are revered all around the world from the high end audio community.

I'm not worried about a Paradigm section as I won't be contributing to it any way. I just thought it was something to show them a bit of respect just as deserved as the other makes listed.Like I said, they are for listening in private, not for talking about.
I can imagine their subs. I have an HSU sub (also extremely good), but it's in the closet right now as I live in an apartment with no place to put it and no way to isolate it. I may end up dumping it if my next place (where ever that will be someday) also has no accommodations for it.
Funny thing with the Signature series. When I was auditioning the Paradigm line I did include the Signature series. I found that to my ears the Signatures and Studios are extremely close in sound, you almost can't tell them apart (especially in blind testing, which I did). I don't know why the Sigs cost so much more than the Studios even though I do understand that the driver materials used on the mid and tweeter are different, but the woofers are the same as the Studios. Again though, my ears. Still a delightful speaker at any rate.
