Paradigm has always been one of the few major home audio loudspeaker manufacturers to take their subwoofers seriously, so our interest is always piqued when they launch a new sub. Their new Defiance subwoofer series has had our attention ever since their announcement, so we paid them a visit to take a look at the entire lineup ranging from the Defiance V10 and the way up to the crafted in Canada X15 goliath to see the spectrum of performance that can be had from the two tiers of Paradigm's new subwoofer line. Watch our RU-vid Overview of the series to see what innovations Paradigm has made with their latest subwoofer design and stay tuned for our written review with exhaustive measurements of the V12 and X12.

How is it for listening to music?

@Agent-fg9ol 5 лет назад

Those subs look really nice 🙂 I'm loving the x15 and it's specs. I currently run two pc2000's and they are very nice subs. I was thinking about upgrading at some point to two pc4000's or maybe getting two more pc2000's so they'd be the same output across all 4. What do you guys or anyone else reading this think?

@Al-se1te 5 лет назад

@ audioholics, I’m actually running a 7.1.4 home theatre system. All Paradigm. My sub I’m running right now is the Paradigm studio sub 12. But I would like to upgrade, to duals . My choices are down to the Paradigm x15, Power sound audio V1510, or Svs Pb4000 or sb16’s. Maybe I could have some insight on which one to choose ? My room is 18ft Lx 13ft Wx 8ft H. Thank you and keep up the great videos !

I´m looking to build a 2.1 system, using Dali Spektor 1 as main speakers . Could you please recommend some active subwoofers able to drive the Dalis, I´m trying to be minimalist here, for space reasons, and still get some decent sound without the need of any external amps. Thanks in advance

What's better Paradigm or SVS subwoofers?

@geft 5 лет назад

I have a really old Paradigm PW2200 12” sub. Probably time to upgrade, but I chose to upgrade my mains to Prestige 85Fs first. I use ARC on my MRX receiver and it sounds great. My room is far from ideal, which makes ARC even more impressive.

@jeffbryner5355 5 лет назад

My room sucks myself. Its a odd shape. How does arc help that? I dont use my arc function. I have a denon reciever and sonance sub mids and highs

@Audioholics 5 лет назад

@@jeffbryner5355 Find the best location for your sub first using our crawl technique. Then run ARC to reduce bass peaks. Ultimately you should add a 2nd sub to help smooth out the bass response in your room.

@@Audioholics that is the plas for the subwoofer. I would like too increase the size and run duels as well

@geft 5 лет назад

@@jeffbryner5355 The thing that I really notices when I ran Anthem ARC is the bass became much tighter and the blend between my mains and the sub was super smooth. It was a huge improvement over my 10+ year old Denon's Audyssey room correction, but I haven't compared it to a more modern Denon.

@venturarodriguezvallejo1567 5 лет назад

Hi, Audioholics. Just a question that, perhaps, can be a little off-topic: Why almost every time we talk about subs, it seems we're implicitly talking about Home Theater applications, and never (or so) about plain stereo music systems? I understand there's a whole lot of good to extremely good Hi-Fi speakers which cannot reach the low end of freq range, being present in the recordings themselves, but impossible to listen to if the speakers simply don't deliver those frequencies at any audible level. These nice subwoofers (and others) can be an improvement to music enjoyment at home. Or so I guess. Is there any technical impediment in using subs just for normal two-channel musical audition? Thanks so much.

@Audioholics 5 лет назад

If a sub has good linearity, low distortion and low group delay, it should be equally good for music as well as home theater applications. Our written reviews typically include listening tests for both applications.

If 12” can hit 15” output, I might need to replace my dual PSA 15Vs to save some space!

@Zoranurai13 5 лет назад

I always wonder how important the hz rating is. Svs is like the only manufacturer that has subs reaching below 20hz under $1000, and they always say that’s the most important part of a sub. So why are there so little brands that offer sub 20hz sub under $1000?

@Audioholics 5 лет назад

All speakers produce sound below 20Hz, even a tweeter! However, what matters is at what SPL and distortion levels. In order to get meaningful output below 20Hz requires a driver with a substantial motor structure, large box and powerful amp. SVS is one of the best brands out there for the price that typically gives you all 3.

@clintmorelock2042 5 лет назад

Seems a little under powered with only 120 RMS. I'm looking to buy dual subs for my home theater and leaning towards dual PB 1000s instead. Looking forward to the full review

@fighting17chicago 2 года назад

I purchased two V12’s and tweaked them via ARC, and I’ll tell you, 120w seems very low, but the quality and dynamics are MORE than enough for my Paradigm Prestige 800f towers and 600C center channel with surround and atmos running. So much so that on more than a handful of occasions the two v12’s have literally scared friends and family causing ears to cover and shrieks of joy to flow from my body lol. I’ve listened to the SVS1000 and the one V12 is for sure in the same ballpark.

@Laissez_Faire 4 года назад

These videos could be so much better. Missing proper b-roll and you could use lav mics like the Rode Wireless Go. They are cheap and easy to use. Like the info but the video and sound plus editing could be better. Thanks anyhow

@benjamindminor7552 5 лет назад

These are nice, but I will keep my SVS subs.

@OctaveWeb 3 года назад

how do SVS behave at low volume? is there enough bass?

@ditto_75 5 лет назад

These look really nice and the price seems fair. I was completely turned off with the claim of +3db output because of the ribbed surround. Less distortion at high xmax is totally believable but 3 extra decibels?? Come on man.!

@Audioholics 5 лет назад

Agreed, I think he,overstated a bit. Our review with measurements will be out soon however. Stay tuned...

@jamesbottger5894 5 лет назад

Totally believable. Double the xmax and you double the displacement, which we all know correlates to a 3 db gain. It's simple physics really...

@Tuings 5 лет назад

Thought it was 6db increase for additional driver not 3db. So the claim it's an additional driver is false

@Audioholics 5 лет назад

depends on if they are wired in parallel or series. See: www.audioholics.com/loudspeaker-design/loudspeaker-impedance-series-parallel-connection-basics

@Tuings 5 лет назад

@@Audioholics this presumes that the amplifier output is the same. For instance if you took two identical subs and located them close to each other you would get an additional 6db SPL.

@Audioholics 5 лет назад

@@Tuings I am well aware of +6dB gains of 2 identical colocated subwoofers but that's not always the same as doubling up the driver count in a sungle subwoofer for reasons stated in the article I linked you to.

@Tuings 5 лет назад

@@Audioholics so if you had a two driver single subwoofer. And if each driver was powered of an independent amplifier but was within the same enclosure the additional dB would be +6.

@robertmcelfresh1031 5 лет назад

Wow - the audio in this video is so poor - especially for a audio-based channel. Please get some lav microphones and fix this. Hang some cargo-blankets to reduce that room echo. I listen to a lot of young creators who do book-tube videos with vastly superior dialog audio. If you cannot setup studio space for good audio & video - how can I trust your advice for setup audio gear in my living room?

@benjamindminor7552 5 лет назад

Robert McElfresh A quality mic wouldn’t improve anything since the room is bare with no acoustic treatments. Audio is fine just poor choice in the room where sub overview was done.

@Audioholics 5 лет назад

This interview was done at the Paradigm facility where I had very little control of the acoustics of the room or mic choices but thanks for complaining nonetheless.
