The striking Concept 4F speaker Paradigm has shown in Europe and Asia is making its North American debut on October 1 at the Music Matters event in Chesterfield, Missouri.

The engineering teams for Paradigm and Anthem joined forces in an R&D project five years ago that has culminated in what the company is calling its most ambitious speaker design ever:

The Concept 4F is a true full-range hybrid loudspeaker, the perfect balance of powered woofers with a passive upper register array. It features TruExtent Beryllium 1-inch tweeters and TruExtent Beryllium 7-inch midrange drivers with perforated phase-aligning lenses, and four Ultra-High-Excursion Differential Drive 8.5-inch woofers in a vibration-cancelling configuration (two front-firing, two rear-firing).

Each woofer pair is powered by a separate DSP-controlled 700 W RMS amplifier for a total of 1400 W RMS (2,800 W Dynamic Peak), and combined with exclusive technology like Anthem Room Correction (ARC) capability. And then some. The result is a unique sonic platform that reinvents luxury performance in a loudspeaker and ushers in an audacious new era for Paradigm.

Paradigm has not released information on when it might bring the speaker to market and at what price.

Hosted by the Sound Room, the Music Matters “wine and cheese” event will feature demonstrations by GoldenEar Technology, Sony, B&W, JL Audio, Classe, Rotel, Totem Acoustic, and Sonos in a casual environment.

If you live in the area and RSVP by September 30th you will be entered for a chance to win door prizes.
