#132 Paradigm Cinema 100: $100 per pair Discontinued eBay
Pros: A compact home cinema satellite from Paradigm. Audio Science Review measured a preference score of 1.8 that reaches 5.71 with an ideal subwoofer, with 0.54 listening window deviation. Measured bass extension of 139.2Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Bass is very limited and the on-axis response is very uneven (2.09 average deviation), so it needs a subwoofer. Paradigm discontinued it. Bass reaches 139.2Hz (-3dB) and about 90Hz (-10dB).
How it compares: Just above it: Role Audio Skiff - $395 more. Just below it: Canton Plus GLX.3 - $70 more.
