Paradigm Atom Monitor Bookshelf/Stand Speakers - New!- Brand new- Full 5 Year Mfg warranty- Black Ash and Heritage Cherry finishes- Grilles included
- Stands not includedRome Wasnt Built in A Day. Neither Was Monitor.
It took three emperors and 15 years to build Romes colosseum,
architecture that still elicits awe centuries later. And while were not
so bold as to compare the colosseum to the new Series 7, you have to
admit the speakers look more than a little awesome in the backdrop of
Ancient Rome. Good architecture will stand up well over time, as will
good sonic architecture. Our Monitor Series 7 is a classic example. Now
in its seventh iteration, each new generation is an opportunity for
refinement: design innovations from our higher-priced reference lineups,
reference-quality component parts, cabinets and even finishes! When it
comes to getting value for your money, it doesnt get better than
Monitor Series 7. Since its inception, the Monitor Series has been a
favorite of audiophiles on a budget with Series 7, that hasnt
changed.
We cant promise it will still be around in two thousand
years, but we can promise it will play louder, plumb deeper, look
smarter and sound better than any other brand in its price range.
Advanced S-Pal Satin-Anodized Pure-Aluminum Bass/Midrange Cones.
First seen in our Paradigm Reference lineup, very high
stiffness-to-mass ratio and outstanding internal damping. The result?
Remarkable midrange clarity, superb extended bass response and freedom
from unwanted resonances and distortions. In an affordable audio
category unbelieveable quality!
Advanced S-PAL Satin-Anodized Pure-Aluminum Domes
with powerful neodymium magnets and ferro-fluid cooling for increased
power handling! Highs are more soaring and spacious, crystal clear and
undiluted even at the higher bandwidths.
Wire Mesh Tweeter Guard and WaveGuide.
More Reference technology, ensuring a smooth, wide panorama of
audiophile-quality sound. Wire mesh protection for the pure-aluminum
tweeter.
Sophisticated crossovers in an affordable audiophile product!
Again, its almost unheard of: polypropylene film or bipolar
electrolytic capacitors, air core and laminated core inductors,
high-power resistors. Crossover topologies are first and second-order
with corresponding acoustic slopes of second and third-order providing
optimal bandwidth and seamless integration as drivers cross over.
Long-Travel Motor/Magnet Structures.
Despite fewer drivers than in previous series, floorstanding and
center channel speakers actually plumb deeper. This is, in part,
attributable to the advanced motor/magnet structures: high-temperature
copper or aluminum wire voice coils (varies by model) wound on Kapton
formers, oversized magnets with all components FEA-optimized.
Foam-Rubber Elastomer Surrounds. Reference Studio Series geometry!
Help achieve that play loud AND play deep effect by allowing longer, expertly controlled cone travel.
Baffled about Baffles? Dont Be!
For those of
you who are wondering. A baffle is the surface on which the speakers
or drivers are mounted. It prevents the front and rear sound waves from
interfering with each other causing sound cancellation, as well as to
absorb sound energy, particularly problematic reflected sound. So a
speaker baffle is pretty darn important.
The new Monitor Series 7 baffle is a work of art worthy of a spot in the arches of a colosseum. It boasts
A clean aesthetic, nothing to see but the the beautiful drivers, no screws or fasteners visible
- Thick and rigid ˝ MDF across the lineup
- FEA-optimized (including a stress analysis) to overcome the limitations of the physical materials.
- A modal frequency analysis allowed us to deliver the most
resonance-, vibration- and coloration-free Monitor Series cabinet to
date!
- Critically tuned to the rest of the cabinet
- Rap on the baffle youll hurt nothing but your knuckles!
