Canadian loudspeaker maker Paradigm has announced three new models for their Reference Signature series of loudspeakers.

Paradigm describes the new additions as "compact, lifestyle speakers" with entirely new form factors. Shared with the rest of the Reference line, the new models will utilize Beryllium tweeters, which Paradigm states is lighter and stiffer than aluminum, without being brittle like some premium tweeter materials. Mid and mid bass drivers are a new cobalt-aluminum alloy, which offer better stiffness and damping than aluminum, according to Paradigm. Finally, Paradigm will continue to use mineral filled polypropylene for the larger bass drivers. Voice coils, magnets and chassis remain relatively unchanged from the last generation of Reference Signatures. T

The three models announced are the S1, a 2 way bookshelf starting at $1499/pair, the 3 way, 4 driver C1 center channel, starting at $1199 and the 3 way, 5 driver ADP1 surround staring at $1199/pair. Available in cherry, birdseye maple and piano black.
