During CEDIA, Paradigm unveiled their new loudspeaker series, the Prestige, which includes seven models in total and harness in-house developed technologies, like the Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA) tweeter lens and the S-PAL tweeter.
According to the press release, Prestige Series combines innovative new technologies with smart engineering and authentic craftsmanship for astonishing performance at an incredible value.
Prestige Series features a new, unobstructed look with clean, sharp lines and close attention paid to the smallest details, while harnessing Paradigm's new technologies, like the Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA) Tweeter Lens that protects the delicate S-PAL tweeter dome and acts as a phase plug, blocking out-of-phase frequencies for smoother, extended high frequencies with incredible detail and higher output.
All the models in the series are designed, engineered, and fully crafted in Canada. Paradigm stated that maintaining control over the design and manufacturing process is the only way to ensure perfection and it is for this reason that they, also, build their drivers in-house.
Prestige cabinets are wrapped with real walnut hardwood and offered in a variety of beautiful premium-grade finishes: Walnut and Black Walnut have a smooth satin finish with distinctive wood figuring. Midnight Cherry and Piano Black models feature a luxurious hand-rubbed, high-gloss finish.
There are five models in the Prestige Series lineup: three floorstanding loudspeakers (Prestige 95F, 85F and 75F), two models for use in the center channel of a multi-channel system (Prestige 55C and 45C), one model for surround channels (Prestige 25S), and one bookshelf loudspeaker (Prestige 15B).
Prestige Series models will start shipping in Q4 and will be available from authorized Paradigm dealers nationwide. Prices were not announced yet.
