Paradigm, renown manufacturer of most catagories of A/V products, has released their latest subwoofer line, called the SUB 1 and SUB 2.
These two subwoofers are part of their Reference Signature line of speakers and subs.
Both are hexagonal in shape, with six drivers (8" in the SUB 1 and 10" in the SUB 2), having two drivers arranged vertically on three of the six sides, alternating sides with drivers and sides without drivers.
They are sealed enclosures, and both have amplifiers with power heretofore not seen in any subwoofers.
The SUB 2 amplifier can be powered by 120 V AC or 240 V AC.
At 120 V, the amplifier outputs 3,000 watts RMS, and at 240 V, it will output a whopping 4,500 watts RMS and 9,000 watts peak.
The SUB 2, which is reviewed here, weighs 230 pounds.
Its performance is truly magnificent, with a price tag worthy of its design: $8,999 for Cherry or Black Ash finishes, and $9,499 for the Piano Black Premium finish.
