Paradigm speakers · Kansas City.

What Paradigm is known for

Paradigm is a Canadian speaker maker; its site says its speakers are crafted in Canada and its CI Elite range is manufactured there. The series on Paradigm’s site today:

• Founder Series and XR Series. Paradigm’s upper ranges for a listening room or a dedicated theater.
• Premier Series V2 and Monitor SE Series. For media rooms and living rooms, where footprint and finish matter as much as scale.
• CI Elite and CI HOME. In-wall and in-ceiling speakers; CI Elite is the new range Paradigm says is manufactured in Canada.
• In-wall subwoofer. The DCS-208IW3, for bass without a box in the room.

Where we use Paradigm

Paradigm Founder speakers suit a dedicated theater or a two-channel room. Premier and Monitor SE fit a media room. CI Elite and CI HOME carry the same maker through whole-house audio. Paradigm’s site links to Anthem’s room correction, and the two are often paired. We also install PSB and Monitor Audio.

What we check before we order

• Seats and distance. Where people sit and how far they are from the speakers, which sets the size of speaker the room needs.
• The room itself. Glass, stone, hard floors and open plans change what a speaker sounds like, so they are noted before a model is named.
• Amplification. Power and channel count matched to the speakers, with room in the rack for the amplifier to breathe.
• Openings and depth. For in-wall and in-ceiling models, the cut-out, the depth behind the drywall and the cable path, checked against the maker’s published specification.

Those answers go on the drawing, and the Paradigm models in the proposal come from them.

What Paradigm pairs with in our rooms

An Anthem receiver or processor with room correction, an MDX amplifier for the ceilings, subwoofers placed by measurement, and a Control4 or Crestron system that runs the room from one remote.

How we supply and install Paradigm

After the no-cost planning consultation we draw the speaker positions, order to the plan, cut and wire at rough-in, then install, level-match and calibrate once the room is furnished. Call (913) 804-7575.

After the install

Every Paradigm job ends with a handover in the room: we show you how it works, test it with you, and record the models, settings and wiring in your project record so the next visit starts from facts rather than guesses. If something stops working, you call us, and the person who answers can see what was installed. Our installation carries a five-year workmanship warranty from the final invoice. Because we also look after the network and the control system around it, the speaker system is never fixed in isolation from the rest of the house.
