Paradigm sets loose version four of its PDR subs

The folks up north at Paradigm aren't ones to rest on their laurels, and now they've released the fourth revision of the PDR-8 and PRD-10 subwoofers for all to enjoy. The company is positioning these as budget models in the lineup, but the speaker-geeks didn't skimp on performance; and we love 'em for that. They've front-mounted new 8- and 10-inch polymer-composite cones into updated cabinets with removable grills, and added auto on/off circuitry for the green crowd. The PDR-8 uses 300-Watts to hit its 32-Hz limit, the PDR-10 has 60 more Watts and reaches 3 Hz lower. Available in black or silver, but no pricing was in the press release, so head on over to your dealer if you're interested.

I had a PDR-10 a few years back, but upgraded it to a PS-1000. Paradigm makes some of the better subs for the price range. In fact, they make some of the better speakers for the money.

I like that they pretty much do everything in house, which lowers the cost. They also don't go for the stupid certs, like THX, so that saves the consumer more money. There parent company also owns Anthem, like Paradigm, makes great products for the money.

Also, the Canadian government built a fancy acoustics lab for Paradigm to use.

So thank your favourite Canadian, for their tax money went to reduce the cost of Paradigm speakers to you.

If only you didn't have to go to a brick and mortar dealer to buy paradigm products and pay the jacked up prices that they charge.
