Just wanted to let everyone know that the new line from paradigm is out. I got a brief listen and was blown away by what I heard. I heard the new s8's and s2's for the signature series and I was impressed by how wide the soundstage was. There was also intense detail with precise imaging. At the time there was very little bass present on the recording, thus I was unable to determine how good the bass was. To go with the sound I heard, the looks were equally as impressive. The downside was the price, it was more than my dealer originally guessed. The bookshelf s2 were $2900.00 Canadian that was $900.00 dollars more than I was originally told(s8 $7900.00Can). I also got a listen at the new seimic 12. This little beast was one hell of a performer. When watching Lord of the Rings this sub shock me to death. So much so, I'm considering trading in my two pw2200's for it. It was fast, tight, articulate, and reached low levels. I must also mention this sub was tiny in that a pw2200 dworfs it. Thus also a reason im considering switching. The amp in this sub is rated at 1200 watts rms, with peak power at 4500 watts. There is one powered downfiring woofer, this is accompanied by two passive radiators on the side. Has anyone else heard this sub or speakers. If so what did you think? Like I said, my listening was brief and therefore what I heard may have been good recording and not the speakers themselves.
