Paradigm Goes Mass Market With New Active Speaker and Headphone Lines

[Ajani]

Paradigm thinks their bi-amped speakers are active.

Here you find the description:

"The new Paradigm Shift Active Atom (A2) is a bookshelf speaker, bi-amped with 100 watts of power per speaker."

Using the same criteria, so does ATC and Genelec among others.

Active is the word I would have used as well, as it the one I'm more accustomed to hearing for speakers with internal amplification... However, I'm still at a loss as to why this is even an issue...

It is pretty clear that Paradigm is referring to speakers with internal amplification... So why do we need a discussion of what the correct term is?

Great question!
