Paradigm Signature S8 Review by Choice Audio

The S8 is the flagship speaker in Paradigm’s Signature line.  Paradigm is at the leading edge of speaker design, manufacturing a sophisticated product from the finest materials available.  This state-of-the-art, high-end speaker is capable of exceptional sound and presence.  The S8 is designed for the two-channel audiophile and features six magnetically shielded drivers; a beryllium dome tweeter, a midrange and four woofers. The tweeter and midrange are ferro-fluid damped and feature dual super neodymium magnet structures for lower distortion and greater power handling.  The bass drivers feature mineral-filled polypropylene cones and massive hard ferrite magnets. The result is an instantaneous and uniform response with no resonance or distortion.

The S8’s have a musical and natural sound, breathtaking midrange clarity, and superior sensitivity, all wrapped up in a gorgeous looking cabinet.

With this kind of quality construction and innovative R&D you would expect to see a much larger price tag, but the S8’s are moderately priced, stacking up favorably against speakers costing far more.
