The reimagined Premier v2: the new benchmark for value in the high-performance category. Flagship-inspired technology, distilled into a series engineered to deliver near-reference sound at an approachable price point.
The Premier Series v2 is more than a next-generation release. It is the definitive performance benchmark in its class — a sophisticated gateway to near-reference sound for listeners ready to step beyond standard systems.
For over 40 years, Paradigm has set the standard for high-performance audio through rigorous research and world-class engineering, built on the belief that everyone should have access to exceptional sound. Every speaker in the Premier v2 series is designed, engineered, and overseen by the team at Paradigm's Canadian headquarters, ensuring the flagship DNA is reflected in every component.
The Premier v2 brings the laboratory to the living room. By distilling the groundbreaking technologies of Paradigm's flagship systems into a more accessible format, the v2 strips away the barriers between standard playback and true reference-grade fidelity.
Hear them in our Palatine listening room. Bring your music. Take your time.
An elite suite of trickle-down technologies forged for Paradigm's higher-tier ranges and optimized for this series.
A sophisticated blend of aluminum, magnesium, and ceramic — lightweight, rigid, and resistant to resonance. The result is detailed, lifelike high frequencies with the openness of a true reference design.
Crafted from aluminum and magnesium to provide the agility and precision required for natural vocals and instruments. Voices stay anchored, instruments stay separated.
Single-piece unibody cones designed for maximum strength and minimal mass, delivering deep and controlled bass even at high volumes. No flabbiness at the bottom, no fatigue over time.
Paradigm's Perforated Phase-Aligning lens ensures all frequencies reach your ears simultaneously. It acts as both a physical shield and an acoustic filter, blocking out-of-phase frequencies for a significant leap in three-dimensional soundstage.
The Oblate Spherical Waveguide precisely shapes output to focus sound on the listening area while reducing unwanted room reflections. Clear, focused imaging regardless of your room's acoustics.
The floorstanding models use adjustable Outrigger Shock-Mount Isolation Feet — a flagship-inspired system that decouples the speaker from the floor, controlling vibrations and resonance that can muddy your audio. Spikes for carpet, rubber caps for hard floors, both included.
Built as a system, sold as singles. Pick the pieces your room needs, expand later.

Engineered for the ultimate home theater or high-end stereo system. Larger 7" Carbon-X bass drivers and a high-volume enclosure deliver the air movement required for visceral, controlled bass and expansive soundstaging.

The scale of a floorstander in a space-friendly footprint. Three-way design with dual Carbon-X bass drivers, a dedicated AL-MAG midrange, and AL-MAC tweeter for seamless, high-output performance.

Designed for large-scale cinema. A 4-driver array supported by dual passive radiators delivers deep, impactful low-end with the placement flexibility of a sealed cabinet. Crystal-clear dialogue, authoritative presence.

A dedicated LCR solution for high-performance theater. The sealed acoustic suspension design allows flexible placement in cabinets or freestanding without compromising clarity. Coaxial AL-MAG midrange ensures dialogue stays anchored to the screen.

A larger 6" AL-MAG driver and increased cabinet volume mean deeper bass extension and wider dynamic range — floorstander-caliber performance in a versatile bookshelf format. The definitive choice for larger rooms.

The ideal entry point into audiophile-quality sound for space-conscious rooms. A 2-driver design with the AL-MAC tweeter and AL-MAG mid-bass driver delivers a detailed, immersive soundstage that far exceeds its size.
