Designed and crafted in Canada, the Paradigm Premier 220B v2 is a premium, high-performance 2-way ported bookshelf speaker engineered to deliver authoritative, floorstanding-caliber sound for audiophiles and home cinema enthusiasts. Serving as a sophisticated gateway to reference-quality audio, it features flagship-inspired technologies—including an AL-MAC™ ceramic dome tweeter with an OSW™ waveguide, a 6-inch AL-MAG™ mid-bass driver, and patented PPA™ lenses with Gen3 ART™ surrounds. Together, these advanced components allow the versatile, stand-mount speaker to produce a deep low-frequency extension, wide dynamic range, and a highly precise, three-dimensional soundstage that easily fills larger listening environments.
The Paradigm Premier 220B v2 represents a calculated approach to high-fidelity audio, distilling over four decades of rigorous acoustic research into a high-value, high-performance bookshelf loudspeaker. Rather than compromising on components, this series leverages trickle-down technologies directly inherited from higher-tier laboratory designs to bridge the gap between everyday home audio and true reference-grade performance. Built entirely at Paradigm's state-of-the-art Canadian headquarters, every structural element is meticulously overseen to honor the precise intent of the original audio recording.
