Paradigm E80R-V2 Ceiling Speakers Brand new, factory sealed. 1 x Pair Paradigm E80-R V2 Elite Series Ceiling Speakers. Made in Canada. Top of range, current model, brand new. RRP $1900 Grab a bargain. selling at a significant loss as my plans for Atmos installation have changed.

Against the recent AUD comp set, A$1,100 sits well below the A$2,610 median and even under the A$446–A$10,000 spread’s middle ground, so this reads as a good buy rather than an ambitious ask. For a pair of installed ceiling speakers, that’s a sensible entry point if the units are complete and the price includes whatever’s needed to fit them.
These are a solid in-ceiling option if you want clean architectural sound without sacrificing too much audio quality; Paradigm’s speaker lines are generally well-regarded for balanced, lively performance and good build. The upside is strongest if this is a clean, lightly used set from a neat install with grilles and all mounting parts present. Only pause if the listing is missing trim, grilles, or evidence of cutout damage, because those are the things that can turn a bargain into a hassle.

Paradigm Electronics was founded in 1982 in the suburbs of Toronto, Canada, by Scott Bagby, a pioneering loudspeaker designer, and Jerry VanderMarel, a consumer electronics veteran. With input from Jerry's brother Bill, they revolutionized speaker design by integrating scientific acoustics research from the National Research Council of Canada and rigorous listening tests. From humble beginnings, Paradigm rapidly expanded, opening its Paradigm Advanced Research Center in 1993 and earning early accolades like the 1990 Best Price/Value Award, cementing its innovative heritage.
The brand focuses primarily on high-performance loudspeakers, including iconic models like the Atom and Monitor series, alongside premium lines such as Signature. Paradigm controls its entire production process in a massive 225,000-square-foot facility outside Toronto, manufacturing drivers, cabinets, and components in-house for unmatched precision. While best known for freestanding and architectural speakers, it has ventured into electronics through sister brands like Anthem, emphasizing value-driven hi-fi without straying into turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables.
Paradigm holds a strong mid-to-high-end position in the global market, renowned for delivering audiophile-grade sound at accessible prices. A bestseller across six continents, it commands significant shares in freestanding (No. 6) and architectural speakers among top integrators. Repurchased by founder Scott Bagby in 2019, Paradigm upholds its commitment to the "Paradigm Sound"—transparent, dynamic audio that punches above its weight, appealing to discerning buyers seeking Canadian craftsmanship over boutique exclusivity.
