This advertisement is for a whole Paradigm 5.1 HT setup, but everything is available individually. If you choose to buy it complete, let me know ASAP. As usual, bulletproof shipping is included to CONUS.

I recently discovered that these are V2.0, not V1.0 as I originally thought. If I had read the outside of the original box, I would have known that sooner.

Paradigm Titan V2.0 Bookshelf Loudspeaker 8/10 Black - *SOLD*

Paradigm Titan V2.0 Bookshelf Loudspeaker 8/10 Black - *SOLD*

Paradigm CC170 Center Channel Loudspeaker 9/10 Black - *SOLD*

Paradigm PDR8 Subwoofer 9/10 Black - *SOLD*

I have a complete Paradigm 5.1 HT setup, that I have decided to move on down the road. They are all in EXCELLENT condition, but noted the usual scratches to the bottom of the bookshelves due to usage upon stands. All of the speakers are timbre matched, except the subwoofer, which doesn't matter.

Paradigm still manufacturers all these models, but they have changed a little bit in appearance, not in performance. To the best of my knowledge, they are exactly the same as the current model line offerings. The later model improvements offer die-cast baskets in lieu of stamped baskets....and "proprietary" things like MPC(Metallescent Polymer Cones). The woofers look silver instead of black, physically. I have not heard any of the current offerings, so all I can say is they look "prettier".

I will, Paradigm homepage, link the current specifications for this gear, and I expect them to be dead-on or almost the same as the current model. I apologize for not knowing exactly, but I lost knowledge of these speakers ages ago. I have requested documentation from Paradigm(05/01/05) on these speakers either way, so when I receive it, obviously it is included. I will amend any changes in this thread if something is in fact amiss in my description.

They are 100% functioning, and sound pretty damn good. The overall performance is not groundbreaking, but it's clear, accurate and perfect for HT. The center channel is quite robust in weight, and dialogue is perfect....never too chesty or overbearing. I was most impressed with the subwoofer, as it really sounds great for such a small package. I rocked Ludicrous(Red Light District) and JayZ(Black Album) and while it's no SVS, I was impressed. I could actually use this for my computer....hmmmm

NO SNAGS ON ANY GRILLS, THEY ARE PERFECT. The grills on the PDR8 subwoofer and the Titan's are not REMOVEABLE. I don't know why, but they aren't. The center channel is completely open to drooling. The Titan's and the CC170 have 5-way binding posts, the PDR8 only has RCA input and spring loaded speaker level connections. I don't know why, but you should be using the RCA input anyways.

Titan - BASS REFLEX, 6.5" WOOFER, 3/4" ALUM. TWEETER

CC170 - BASS REFLEX, (2)5.5" WOOFERS, 3/4" ALUM. TWEETER

PDR8 - BASS REFLEX, (2)PORTS, 100W POWERED 8" WOOFER

Audio Preview - Paradigm PDR8 Subwoofer

The reviews speak for themselves, it's pretty cool stuff.

Bulletproof shipping is as always....INCLUDED.

Actual Item(s) Include(s): TBD. I have requested owners manuals for all of these pieces, so when I receive them, regardless of prior purchase....I will forward them to the new owner at my expense.

I have one(1) original Titan box for a single pair, so first come first serve.

Thank you for looking....and reading.

    The word starter doesn't need to be there, it's a great set period, even for the living room.

    Cheers,

    Mark, I don't have the extra cash right now for the sub...but if by chance it's still around in a month or so, I'd love to have it...

    I was gonna build one in a month or two for the computer rig, but this will work fine if it's still around when I get the cash...

    The center channel is still available, Carlos had to back out.

    Everything will be off to the 'Gon tomorrow afternoon, but still available.

    PM - If you really want it I can hold it, but don't want to have it taking up space for too long. A month is fine, just let me know.

    I'll read the outside of the boxes for you from now on. I LOVE doing that. If the guys that bought the stuff don't want the boxes, could you ship them to me so I can read them? Only the ones in English?

    The subwoofer and center channel are sold, but the Titan bookshelves are still available if anyone is on the prowl.
