RECENSIONI E PREMI PROFESSIONALI

Paradigm's diminuitive Studio 10 is inherently warm and full, with a remarkably large presentation that will appeal to a wide range of listeners. It's not the most transparent design, but is nevertheless lively and involving. This front-ported two-way can sit on a shelf, but performs best on a rigid stand placed somewhat into the room. Bass isn't bad, but some will want to add one of Paradigm's subwoofers to fill out the bottom end.

Paradigm has made a lot of two-way speakers over the years, but I believe that the Reference Studio 10 v.5 is the best affordable one yet. The build quality is excellent, the cosmetics are outstanding... The 10's excellent bass performance, as well as its ability to play loud, belie its price, and its evenhanded performance across the audioband will be appreciated by those who want their speakers to just step out of the way and keep the focus on the music.

With almost 30 years of dedicated craftsmanship behind them, the wizards at Paradigm have produced a speaker that effortlessly fills a room with a breadth and depth of sound typically reserved for speakers double their size (and double the price). Boasting a 1' tweeter, 5.5' mid-woofer and oval bass port, the Studio 10s begin with clean, tight bass response, move into a strikingly precise mid-range, and top things off with flawless detail at the high end... you'd be hard pressed to find a better pair of speakers for breathing life and presence into your music collection. Spend a few minutes with them, and you'll be talking about 'tone,' 'resonance' and all the other musical ideals you forgot you knew.

The Paradigm Reference Studio 10 v.5 bookshelf speakers are overachievers in almost every respect. These very musical speakers will surprise you with their ability to produce a huge soundstage while accurately portraying voices and instruments in space with finesse. Considering their published frequency response, the Paradigms deliver a lot more bass energy than expected... The Paradigm Reference Studio 10 v.5 bookshelf speakers provide a great entry point into the high-end audio hobby without breaking the bank account. They're also a great start to a complete home theater surround system if mated with other Paradigm Reference Studio Series products.

A 2012 Golden Ear recipient, the Shift A2 is more than just a cleverly named loudspeaker. Compact, internally powered, and equipped with DSP bass managment and enough back-panel inputs to connect to almost any source, this is what 21st century entry-level high end is all about. A combination of sound and value, it extends the welcome mat to budding high-enders who may have felt they couldn't afford the entrance fee.

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.
