Paradigm Phantom V2 Speaker pair
Name the Canadian system other than the programmed association with sound illusions automatically associated with a slight touch of mystery, which is formed due to the unavailability for viewing dynamic heads, hidden behind a non-removable decorative mask. Phantom v.2 - the smaller of the two floor-standing speakers series Perfomance, all systems which are applied to the dome tweeter diaphragms corporate composite CMC (Ceramic Metal Composite) - a ceramic plate is applied a thin layer of anodized aluminum. Conical diffusers same pair bass/midrange drivers are made of polypropylene. Embedded flush with the side faces the back panel further strengthened with screws - maybe a little at the expense of beauty, but firmly. In general, the design of such a "secretive" system seems to be very practical.
Our regular reader will have noticed that one of the enduring virtues speaker brand Paradigm determined the increased attention of developers to produce good bass. Exceptions are not allowed, even for low-cost floor speakers, which in itself - to achieve. Compact "Phantoms" with surprising ease operate with powerful bass - volume, dense, perhaps a little harsh - familiar, does not it? Bass good "warm up" tone color image, but do not overstep the bounds - the system creates a thick, but quite comfortable sound atmosphere. No claims to the middle, while the low-frequency terrible neighborhood and imposes on it a certain depressing imprint. High frequency details if slightly veiled, relaxed - the image registers large strokes. The scene is not too worked in depth, although the stereo space is very stable. Strength of the system is a good speaker: continuous operation at high volume, playback fragments containing the most severe fluctuations of the amplitude revealed no serious problems. Only slightly coarsens bass - are becoming more visible in the harsh tones percussion sounds.
Complex positive sound as a Paradigm Phantom V2 - bouncy temperament, impressive power - most pronounced on an energetic rock material. In general, any sounds impressive contemporary music. However, this does not mean unconditional rejection system other musical directions - the same classic, for example, is served very impressive. Reserve power, dynamic endurance, stable stereo image - great quality for the theatrical front. Only required to pick up the dim acoustics center channel better (but not required) - proprietary. It is desirable to allocate space roomier.
