Paradigm Monitor SE 8000F

Big, immersive sound

Just because a speaker doesn't cost an exorbitant amount doesn't mean you can't get excellent performance out of it. If you're looking for room-filling, dynamic sound, Paradigm's Monitor SE 8000F tower is a stellar option. The state-of-the-art tweeter works together with four fast, accurate woofers to give width and life to your favorite songs

If you're wanting a superb surround sound setup, these have got you covered. You can pick up the SE 2000C center channel, two SE Atom bookshelf speakers, and a Defiance V or Defiance X-series subwoofer, and you'll have yourself a potent home theater system you can enjoy for years to come.

A finely crafted tweeter

Paradigm did extensive research into what makes a tweeter sound clear or muddy. That testing and analysis led to the patented X-PAL pure aluminum dome tweeter and PPA (Perforated Phase-Aligning) lens featured in the Monitor SE Series. This proprietary design uses the lens as refined phase plug — it blocks out a wide range of unwanted out-of-phase frequencies, giving the tweeter smooth, uncolored highs.

High-performance drivers

The '8000F uses a three-way speaker design. Three 8" drivers take care of the bass, while a 6-1/2" driver handles the midrange. There's a good deal of detail and soundstage separation between the highs, mids, and bass frequencies. The bass drivers and midrange driver are made of mineral-filled polypropylene and have an inverted dust cap. That design keeps the drivers lightweight and rigid, allowing them to be agile enough to keep up with the most demanding music and films. The carefully designed surrounds help to control the linear motion of the cones while giving them a low-profile appearance if you choose to leave the grilles off. The rear-firing ports helps to give the low-end response more depth and punch.

Partnered with Canada's National Research Center

Paradigm is partnered with Canada's largest federal research and development organization, the National Research Center (NRC). The two research the nature of sound and human hearing together, and their findings influence the design and performance of Paradigm's loudspeakers and subwoofers. The result is a uniquely realistic sound that's backed by ample scientific research.
