Many consider the Paradigm Reference version 3 series as the best of the line.
Home Theater Sound review.I purchased the Studio 20s and the CC-470 as demo units from an authorized retailer and the ADP-470s used. All speakers are in 7-8/10 condition. From the seating position they look great. Examine them up close and you’ll find these issues:
- Studio 20: Three minor veneer chips the largest of which in 2nd picture is about 1/4" (on rear).
- CC-470: Veneer chipping along bottom right edge.
- ADP-470: Minor veneer chipping and smudges / dirt on veneer and grilles. One of the four tweeters was pushed in when I purchased them; I disassembled the tweeter following instructions from Paradigm, removed the dome, popped it out and smoothed it as best I could. The result is an almost perfect repair with no audible remnant. (Note the flash makes the area much more visible than it is in room light.)
Sound is incredible and functionality is 10/10. They’ve always been driven with Pioneer Elite receivers.
I am only selling these because our new rental home does not have space for separate 5.1 and 2-channel set-ups. I’m keeping my Fritz Carbon 7 towers and adding one of his center channels to create a 3.1 system.
I have original boxes for the Studio 20s and CC-470 and will pack the ADP-470s to survive WW III.
