Paradigm Premier 200B Speaker Review

July 25, 2019 by Chris Heinonen 1 Comment

The 200B is the top bookshelf speaker in the Paradigm Premier lineup. It is equipped with a 1” dome tweeter and a 6.5” midrange/bass driver and a quick look shows the influence of the Persona speakers. Both drivers include their Phase Aligning Lens to block out of frequency sounds and, as the name suggests, improve phase alignment. The top of the cabinet is different than most … [Read more...] about Paradigm Premier 200B Speaker Review

KEF LS50 Wireless Speakers Review

June 30, 2018 by Chris Heinonen 5 Comments

Otherwise the speakers seem almost identical: same … [Read more...] about ELAC B4 Speaker Review

Now, he is working with ELAC and has produced a … [Read more...] about ELAC B6 Speaker Review

KEF R300 Speaker Review

November 16, 2015 by Chris Heinonen 15 Comments

This year I had the chance to compare over 20 pairs of bookshelf speakers to each other. Some were good, some were bad, and some stood out. The SVS Ultra Bookshelf offered the best bass of any speaker, bar none. But the speakers that won me over were the KEF models with their Uni-Q driver. The coherence and clarity they offered over the other speakers was huge. The LS50, … [Read more...] about KEF R300 Speaker Review
