Paradigm Titan Main / Stereo Speaker

Pros: Open natural sound that belies its size and price!
Cons: Cannot handle more than 75 clean watts. Not quite the equal of PSB's Alpha.

It is not uncommon to find small speakers outperforming larger floorstanding models these days and certainly two Canadian based companies like Paradigm and PSB make quite a statement with their high performing low priced Titan and Alpha models ...

Pros: Size, Easily mounted, Great Line response, Good Low End Definition for the Size, Outstanding Imaging
Cons: I Wish the Grilles Came Off. . . .

Background


The speakers these were replacing were a pair of Yamaha 636's. The Yamahas were substantially larger and heavier, but didn't sound good at medium volume levels when any bass was introduced, they tended to flap quite a bit, but...

Pros: Sound, easily mountable
Cons: lack of removable grilles

I have to admit, I love Paradigm speakers, and have them on everything I own. They have such a great price/value ratio, and their sound is excellent. I have auditioned multiple brands and models of hi end stereo speakers, yet a still keep coming back...

Pros: Excellent sound quality for the price, expandable system.
Cons: A little large for a home theater system, but workable.

Until about a year ago, I was a Bose disciple. Everything we owned was Bose, both in my home and in my car, and we truly thought that Bose was one of best systems we'd ever heard.

This, however, was before we'd heard the Paradigm Titan...

Pros: Great sound, incredible value!
Cons: Reveals the limits of the original recordings.

When I bought my stereo setup back in '92 I was impressed with the sound coming out of my Infinity Reference speakers. After I got a new car with a Bose sound system, I wasn't so happy with the home stereo anymore. I had a couple constraints, though -- a ...

Pros: Performance for the price
Cons: Midrange accuracy

Here is a speaker that will change your mind about large speakers. Paradigm has brought to the general public speaker performance that had not been attainable in this price range. Any one who has listened to these speakers carefully will admire what...

Pros: Flat curve, well defined, and price !
Cons: Grille won't come off ; a bit "hot" around 100Hz.

It's getting hard to write something about Paradigm speakers without reusing the same adjectives all the time. Over the past couple of years I had the privilege to buy various speakers from this company (Monitor 9, CC-370, PS-1200 and now Titans) to ...

Pros: Price, Value, Sound Quality
Cons: Not a one

I was putting together my home theater system when my focus turned to speakers. I had a pair of Velodyne LD-1’s that I purchased a few years back and was planning to purchase another set to act as my “rear” speakers. After learning they were no longer...

Pros: Awesome sound for the price!
Cons: Not magnetically shielded for close placement to monitor.

I needed a decent pair of speakers for under $200 that I could later add a subwoofer to build a top-notch system for both home theater and music.
I was very close to purchasing the Cambridge Soundworks New Ensemble II which can be had for $185...

Pros: Huge sound, nice looks, tight punchy bass
Cons: Midrange is good for the price but not as good as other models

I bought these speakers because of advice given to me at www.hometheaterforum.com and the fact that living in Canada is great if you like Paradigm(the prices are low). Other speakers I was considering were: JBL N26
...

Pros: Great sound, low cost.
Cons: none

I've owned Bose 401 speakers and when I first got my set of Paradigm's I was amazed. These are great speakers. The sound is crisp, clean and rich. I'd choose the Paradigm Titan's over the Bose 401s any day.
They cost less too.

...

Pros: Cheap, Great sound
Cons: none considering the price

The Paradigm Titans are the biggest bookshelf speaker in the Performance series of speakers. The Performance Series are Paradigm's affordable audiophile speaker series. The Titan almost simlar in a design view of the Mini Monitor, has many of the same...

Pros: Great sound! There's nothing that comes remotely close in this price range to the Titan
Cons: Grills cannot be removed, not a big deal though..

OK, I'm going to keep this short and sweet. I have a friend who is a audio engineer in LA and he told me about these speakers. He is using them in his studio, recently replacing the famed Yahama NS-10M with the Titans...I spoke to him about components as ...

Pros: Durable - no problems in @ 10 years of use. Great sound with meaty low-frequencies.
Cons: You'll never want to buy new speakers.

When I went shopping for my first home audio system 10 years ago (gosh has it been that long?) I stumbled upon Paradigm speakers. I was in college and didn't have much cash, but I absolutely fell in love with the Monitor 7. They were out of my price ...

Pros: Wonderful rich sound, good bass, modest size
Cons: Haven't found one yet

I went looking for a pair of bookshelf speakers to start my system. I thought I had listened to everything when I bought a pair of boston acoustic CR8's. Two days later I found a shop where I now buy all of my audio equipment. I listened to what they...
