Performance & Value

To produce a loudspeaker that meets our standards for performance and value, we took complete control of the manufacturing process, an unprecedented move at this price point. In our state-of-the-art North American facility, we have produced a loudspeaker that defies convention; a homegrown loudspeaker that benefits from innovations found throughout the Paradigm family of loudspeakers.

Patented Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA™) Tweeter and Midrange Lens Technology

Distinctive perforated lens in front of the tweeter and midrange drivers increase and smooth output without coloring the sound, while also protecting the drivers from getting damaged.

Patented Active Ridge Technology (ART™) Surrounds

Premier features Paradigm’s patented Active Ridge Technology (ART) surrounds, made in-house and overmolded directly onto each woofer and midrange cone. This design achieves greater excursion, for a 3dB gain in output and 50% reduction in distortion. Crafted from injection-molded thermoplastic elastomer, ART surrounds are more durable and more reliable, ensuring a lifetime of superior sound.

Crafted in Canada

Premier Series speakers are designed, engineered, and made in Paradigm’s state-of-the-art 225,000 ft2 Canadian facility. We chose heavy duty, non-resonant 3/4-inch MDF, with optimally placed interior bracing, and reinforced front baffles to ensure an audio performance beyond any other in this price range. Smooth front baffles, enhanced with 1-inch MDF, reduce diffraction and improve sound radiation characteristics. You can feel the Premier build quality that comes from true handcrafted manufacturing. Beautiful, furniture-grade finishes complete this new standard of performance and value.

Partnered with the NRC

Paradigm is partnered with Canada’s world-renowned NRC in ongoing research to reveal the true nature of sound and human hearing. Findings influence design and performance specs, resulting in a uniquely realistic listening experience, backed by sound science.

Bought a pair of Premier 800F to replace my worn out ancient PSB 40MkII's to go with my new Marantz PM8006 integrated amp! After the break in period and hours of listening I am confident that my purchase was well worth it. I bi-wired/bi--amped these speakers and the sound is so clean and clear. I was initially concerned about the bass extension when I first hooked them up, but after breaking them in, it is not an issue at all. I use these speakers for music only [Blues, Country, Classic Rock, Jazz] and Bass is more than adaquate for pleasureable listening levels. I have also had the pleasure of hearing hidden details in my music collection through these speakers, that I had not noticed before. Ordering on line directly from Paradigm's website was quick, easy and the speakers were delivered in great shape, in a timely manner to my door. My friends [one a musician] are shocked at the quality and sound of these Canadian speakers and their price point! I'm not technically attuned or nor able to speak critically of every nuance of a speakers specific tonal atributes like die hard "audiophiles," I just know that I like music and I demand good sound and quality Equipment. In my humble opinion, these speakers more than hold their own against others I've heard that cost way more.

Well I was in the market to replace my Yamaha RX-595, found a replacement thanks to Entertainment Expressions help obtaining my Yamaha R-N803. After realizing the new stereo was much more clear, heard more music, and the overall change in sound, then I figured I needed to replace my Pioneer CS-R570 3 ways 25+ years of pounding them. Thanks to Jeff at Entertainment Expressions I got a few 3 way options to look at. They let me play really hard a set of F700's in the store to see what a lower set were like with my range of music. In the end between the two brands I was looking at I opted for the F800's versus another brand due to the Bass of these versus the larger woofers with a higher low end.. So far I have really been very happy with these F800's even with the smaller woofers. But also thanks to Jeff making sure I knew to allow them to break in has resulted in better bass and overall sound. Only thing that upset me was that you offered $400 off within a few days of my purchase. Do to Jeff's recommended options I did end up with these and glad about it. I am considering a second pair while you have a sale. To anyone that likes Natural Stereo music @ 100 W RMS .019 THD set to flat on EQ/dials, these are a great match for my Rock, Bach, Motzart, Tool, ZZ Top, Lorenna McKennitt, Michael Jackson, Santana The Righteous Brothers, Starship, Steve Miller Band and Jethro Tull to give you a range. May not be what you want for heavy bass, get a sub add on. I am amazed at the clean clear extra sound I get from these, I can actually much better hear the strum of a guitar string or any other instrument. I thought my old system was great and it was, but clearly technology has upped that massively. These I can turn up loud enough to hurt my ears, not distort, and not make me think I will break them as I did many times on my previous RX-595.It was only 80 W RMS .019 THD and it shelled many lesser speakers, only those Japanese Pioneers took the beating If I were to complain it is the sale program and that the tweeter side is a tiny bit overbearing, while mid seams at times over run. Seriously, minor complaints, except sales promos "major complaint". Awesome match to my Yamaha! Thanks to your staff and Entertainment expressions for introducing me, Royce
