Paradigm Monitor SE Atom Bookshelf Speaker

November 2018
These little Paradigms are high quality compact speakers. I dare you to find better. This is truly one of the most exciting products I’ve had the pleasure to review. Well done, Paradigm!” Jeff Dorgay

 

October 2018
The company’s engineers no doubt fretted over where to allocate precious Canadian dollars and cents in its design, and surely had to make compromises somewhere. Yet the Atom’s sound is so well balanced that I’d find it difficult to close my eyes and conclude that I was hearing a pair of minimonitors retailing for under $300/pair. Its overachieving high end is every bit as impressive as its supple and articulate midrange. Then there’s that healthy dollop of bass extension down to about 50Hz. Nor does it look half bad, and its Gloss White finish is particularly tasty. Paradigm’s new Monitor SE Atom is all about maximizing sound quality and value — a no-brainer that anyone can appreciate. Hans Wetzel

[TRANSLATED] “The feeling of freshness always prevails in the service of musicality, with a simplicity of good quality. The stereo image is pleasantly shaped, very airy and precise.” – Diapason

I don’t know how they put their better speaker technology into these and yet kept them affordable, but Paradigm has designed the uncommon speaker system for the common man. Recommended! Jim Milton

As with much of the gear that arrives here for measurements and/or photography, I had no plans of listening to the Monitor SE Atoms – there’s only so much time in a day, and I’d rather devote it to the products I’m reviewing. But when I unboxed them, I was so impressed with the apparent quality of their cabinets and parts that I couldn’t resist hearing them. Doug Schneider

Technology Backed by Science

Tweeter

X-PAL™ Pure-Aluminum Dome Tweeters with exclusive Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA™) Lens. This patent pending design acts as a refined phase plug, blocking a wide range of out-of-phase frequencies which increases and smooths output without coloring the sound.

Both visually stunning and functional, our signature PPA Lens technology improves performance while also protecting the tweeter from getting damaged.

Bass/Midrange

High-performance mineral-filled polypropylene cones with inverted dust caps are lightweight and rigid. Downroll surrounds give them a clean, low-profile look.

Enclosure

Beautiful Monitor SE speaker cabinets, with their unmistakably European fit and finish, complement today’s most stylish décor. Each model is available in high-gloss white or matte black finishes.
