Paradigm Paradigm SE 3 Floorstand Special Edition Pair

I bought these speakers in 2012, but they have not been used much - maybe 20 times. They are in excellent condition.

This pair of Paradigm SE 3 Floorstand Special Edition model not only look and perform much like Paradigm Reference products, but do so at a much lower cost. If you're looking for a home-theater package that punches way above its competition while offering genuine tastes of high-end sound and looks, then Paradigms new SE range deserves a serious look...
(Aron Garrecht, Good Sound!)

...What you get in return is serious sound reproduction that can compete with higher-priced speakers in bigger, less accommodating cabinets. The combination of great sound and a striking slimline appearance make the SE3s a very satisfying system...
(Rebecca Day, Technology Tell)

Features:

Advanced G-PAL™ Gold-Anodized Pure-Aluminum Domes exceptionally rigid low-mass domes with treated textile suspensions ensure remarkably uniform, instantaneous power response. Elevated dome position provides better ‘air’ and frequency response that is smooth, pure and clear.

Die-Cast WaveGuide™ Chassis and Phase Alignment Bridge. A smooth panorama of audiophile-quality sound.

Advanced S-PAL™ Satin-Anodized Pure-Aluminum Midrange and Bass / Midrange Cones with advanced Santoprene® rubber suspensions and powerful
ceramic / ferrite magnets. FEA-optimized, elliptical shaped suspensions allow for inaudible levels of distortion with deeper and louder bass performance than is typical in speakers at this price range. Output linearity is simply superb!

Mineral-Filled Co-Polymer Polypropylene Bass Cones with oversized magnet structures are engineered for very high power. The high-stiffness design is intrinsically low in distortion, allowing the bass cone to respond instantly to the starts and stops of even the leading edge of changing bass notes.

Real Wood Veneer Cabinets! Soft edges and clean lines, even the sleek design of the soft rubber feet adds a touch of class and elegance. Grilles attach magnetically.
