These were damaged last time they were shipped. Some corners are damaged and some cracks in the grill frames. However, they work perfectly and sound fantastic. Best of all, none of the damage is visible once you mount them so you will be getting what was the top of the line at the time for a fraction of the price. Includes speakers, grills, and wall brackets.
This listing is for 3 speakers,, the center and 2 more.
I have 5 but decided to keep 2 for the L-R surrounds as I would have to spend way more to get close to how these perform. The center is identical to the others except the center has the tweeter/midrange oriented differently as you can see in the pictures,, Or you could use a pair for surrounds like I have, If they don't sell for close to what I am asking I'll just keep them and use a pair for the back. Even with the damage, at 20% of retail with free shipping and I pay the fees that is a very good deal.
BTW the CA-5200 Classe 5 channel 200W amp is also for sale and makes an ideal companion to these. Package deal available..
They were discontinued when the $$$ Persona was released and the only reason I am selling them is I went for it and bought a set of Persona. These are the wall mount version of the Signature 8 designed to be wall mounted in a theater. Google for reviews where they are raved about. They retailed for $3,000 each and worth it.

If you can live knowing that hidden away is some cosmetic damage you will have a state of the art theater for a bargain price.
see my extensive + feedback going back 20 years and see that I am a straight shooter. I will pay to ship and that is a big deal because they are over 40 pounds each and I need to buy packing material. Local pickup or meet a reasonable distance from Evansville IN would be ideal and I can lower the price a bit.
I took photos that show the worst of it in light that makes it look much worse than it does to the naked eye so there are no surprises. I'll send the center and the 2 remaining I'll pick the ones that look the best.
Questions for the seller |
|---|
| Appears some kind of repairs were made to damaged corners- like a black filler of some kind? What repairs have been made? yes, obviously. They were glued and cracks were filled. They are fiberboard covered in black lacquer so to repair them to like new would be prohibitively expensive. They were repaired to be functional. They are all solid, some of the corners are not real pretty, but none of it is seen mounted on the wall with the grills. |
| I’m really interested, I have S8 V2’s and need center & surrounds. I’m using small sig V2 C1/ ADP-1’s for now, but they are too small with S8’s. Just concerned as appearance of tweeter in your pics with the vertical rib/ ring arched brace in front looks
similar to Signature S series V1 Co-Pal
tweeter. All signature S series V2 and V3 beryllium tweeters I have seen have a domed screen on outside and no arched brace in front. I understand your concern. I am no expert but it does match the picture on this brochure that says they are Be. I sent a note to Paradigm to confirm

| Are these beryllium tweeters like signature V2’s or the earlier non-beryllium V1’s? All the reviews and brochures I've seen say beryllium so I think by the time these were introduced they were past the V1. BUT I'm not 100% sure, do you know to tell by looking? |
| I’m really REALLY interested, I have signature S8 V2’s with small V2 C1 & ADP-1, so I really need bigger center/ surround to match S8’s. Just concerned In your pics the tweeters look similar to V1’s with a arched rib & no screen in front but I’m not that familiar with W5. All signature S series V2 & V3 beryllium tweeters have domed screens and no rib? I can’t tell if they are beryllium?
Also, what packaging for shipping do you have? As you said they got damaged in shipping previously and I’ve had bad luck shipping large heavy speakers too! As stated in the ad I will need to buy packaging. These were damaged because they were shipped with a single layer of bubble wrap. I've been doing this for a long time so know how to pack, or will pay to get it done. See previous comment about these pictures with screen match what I have, It will have to wait until I hear back from Paradigm to be sure. |
