REVIEW
- PARADIGM 100 CT AND CINEMA SUB LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
Voices were clean and uncoloured, even when Hollywood’s finest are shouting, and the sheer size of the sound belies the size of the boxes. This really is a system for someone who craves a big sound but wants to avoid room-dominating speakers… Paradigm’s 100CT speakers, and the subwoofer that goes with them, form a bit of a wonder package.
