Paradigm Signature Sub 25 Eliminates Power Conditioners

With the optional room correction system, you've got a sub, its own dedicated power conditioner, and a 4 sub room correction system. Now all you need is a little over $16,000...

Good luck getting 3000 Watts continuous out of a 120V circuit. Make sure you run the 230V if you want to test the amp.

9 HZ extention. Amazing. what source material out there goes that low? Anybody?

Pipe organ music, or the Irene scene in Black Hawk Down... I hear the helicopter blades have some super low bass extension.

Pipe organ music

According to TLSguy the lowest stop on the big pipe organs is tuned to 17Hz. Thats a long way from 9Hz.

For $16,000 you could build 4 REALY good subs, send them out for pro veneering and finishing and have pocket change left over for a trip or 400 to McDonalds.

I wonder what the dealer margin is on one of those things?

I'll call BS on Paradigms marketing hype at this point... That sub may be able to produce usable output at 9hz in a closet, but in my 8200^3 room it will offer no advantage to me then one of my single heavy duty 15" drivers.

9Hz doesn't mean it will have usable output at 9Hz. No single commercial subwoofer can reproduce a 9Hz tone at usable volume (110dB). It also doesn't say whether it is flat to 9Hz, which is impossible without EQ. It can be 15dB down at 9 Hz, which is not so "good".

I'm sure it has built in EQ but I doubt that sub offers any more linear excursion then my TC3000 or possibly even the TC2000.

It is very nice to see that Paradigm is stepping up to the plate to replace their long overdue need to upgrade their line of subs. The Servo 15 .v2 is a pretty darn good sub, but Andrew/avaserfi, me as well as others that have used measured super drivers will attest to the superior SQ over that sub.

Paradigm is a very proficient manufacturer of its own in house drivers, but the price of this sub is reaching in terms of value. JL walked that line and did very well, but in the end you can acquire an F113 for $2200-2300 new with warranty.

I will be happy to build you a sub that easily performs as well for far less then 1/3 that price...
