Paradigm Mini Monitor v2 Bookshelf Speakers -Light Cherry Finish

Paradigm Mini Monitor v2 Bookshelf Speakers – Made in Canada – Light Cherry Finish

Simply fantastic, Made-in-Canada bookshelf speakers from Paradigm — the Mini Monitor v2 delivers a level of sonic performance, build quality, and bass extension that consistently surprises listeners who expect so little from a speaker this size.

The Mini Monitor v2 is one of the most celebrated bookshelf speakers ever produced at Paradigm’s Mississauga, Ontario facility. Designed and built entirely in Canada, it features a 25mm (1-inch) PTD pure-titanium dome tweeter, ferrofluid-damped and cooled for smooth, extended high-frequency performance, paired with a 165mm (6.5-inch) ICP injection-moulded co-polymer polypropylene woofer on a rigid diecast chassis. The large rear-firing resistive port produces impressive bass extension for a speaker of this footprint — reaching down to 43 Hz (DIN) — and the third-order electro-acoustic crossover at 2.0 kHz ensures a smooth, seamless transition between drivers. Reviewers consistently described the Mini Monitor’s midrange as approaching speakers costing several times the price, with tight, extended bass and airy, grain-free highs.

As the community saying goes: “Atoms are great and Titans are grand, but if you have the budget, spring for the Mini Monitors every time.”

This pair is finished in the less common and very attractive Light Cherry vinyl — a warmer, more distinctive look than the standard Black Ash, and harder to find on the used market. Cabinets are in very good condition. Please note: this pair does not include grilles. One woofer surround has two very small prior repairs (approximately 2mm in diameter each), and one dust cap has some light dimpling — neither issue affects sound quality in any way, and both speakers perform and present very well.

As with every component we sell at Radique Audio, this pair has been thoroughly tested before listing.
