BERUFSBEWERTUNGEN & AUSZEICHNUNGEN

The Seismic 110 was musical and grippy, fast with no appreciable overhang. Yet equally it enjoys reaching right down into the fear zone, even in the midst of other bass, and has effortless depth...the Paradigm handled all of this with effortless power, skilled articulation and rich profundity... a demon amongst compact subs... This Bulldog's got bite!

The Paradigm Seismic 110 subwoofer is a freak. It is very small, lightweight as subwoofers go; yet capable of playing very loud, very low, and very clean. It will blow away subwoofers that are bigger, heavier, and in some cases, more expensive. Highly recommended!

The sub can produce lashings of power, but it's one of the more compact designs we've seen. Its curved cabinet is an unusual but stylish alternative in a world of square and boxy monoliths... a sound trail that travels with detail and assertion from front to rear. This package is a smooth and easy listen, with an attention to detail to marvel at.

...the performance boost the on-board PBK EQ system delivers and it is worth every penny if you have a less than perfect room, like most people in fact do. Even if that weren't the case, the raw performance is a match for anything I've heard remotely close to the size and gives good cause for concern to some well established sealed boxes of similar price and even larger dimensions.

...the seamless integration of the Seismic 110 made a staggering improvement in the enjoyment of both music and movies... the Seismic 110 delivered really fine low level information for the money. The Seismic 110 and the Paradigm 20 v.5s bring out the best in each other, all to the good for the fortunate listener who needs a full sound without sacrificing a lot of floor space.

If I were looking for a compact lifestyle system, this one would be at the top of my list. The MilleniaOnes and Seismic 110 cost a little more than many small sat-sub systems, but cost a lot less than I would have expected considering their outstanding performance.

The Seismic 110 was a stellar performer (greatly enhanced by the PBK) and because of the software, can be placed almost anywhere in your room within reason and be optimized for your listening location. I thought that the design of the sub was quite unique and certainly not your typical "big black box" on the floor. It was a veritable cast-aluminum canon, heavy and potent.

Paradigm spent a lot of time and money refining this unique sub, and the results are both visible and audible... The center and sub were a perfect marriage for voices of both genders, never localizing in the sub. In fact, the 80-Hz sub crossover worked beautifully for everything... The Paradigm Prestige series combines state-of-the-art design, ingenious engineering, and superb build quality with voicing that I found cinematically and musically unerring. Speakers that allow me one-setting enjoyment of action movies, with no dynamic range control intervention, are rare. Speakers that beat my reference system on orchestral material are rarer. But speakers that do both are practically unheard of. I learned a lot'and had a lot of fun'with the Prestige in my listening room. And living with the Seismic 110 sub continues to be a joy.

Paradigm's director of product development, Oleg Bogdanov, explains how dual-voice-coil technology, found in flagship Persona speakers and the Seismic 110 subwoofer, eliminates or dramatically reduces sources of distortion in loudspeakers.

A 5.5-inch surround with carbon-infused polypropylene cone with a larger PPA lens handles the midrange frequency driver, and two 5.5-inch ART surround polypropylene cones provide the bottom end.
