Paradigm Reference SA-25 V3 In-Wall Loudspeakers Paradigm Reference SA-25 V3 Pair of In-ceiling/In-wall Speakers. I have been sitting on these for a while to use as an ATMOS upgrade in cinema, but now decided on 4x ATMOS speakers and cannot get another pair of these anymore so getting a different series. Comes in original box with grills etc. Free metro area shipping included with sale. If you are regional, please check first on cost as these are reasonably heavy.

At AUD 400, this sits below the A$471 median and comfortably above the A$171 25th percentile, so it reads as a solid fair-to-good buy rather than a bargain-basement steal. It is not cheap enough to call a true bargain on the database numbers alone, but it’s priced sensibly for a known Paradigm in-wall model.
That’s the sort of spend that makes sense if you need a serious architectural speaker with good integration and a reputable voicing; Paradigm’s Reference line is generally well regarded for clarity and usable output in custom installs. The real value here is in getting a matched, established in-wall design without paying new-install money, so if the grilles, back boxes, and cosmetic condition are all clean, this looks like an easy listen-in rather than a hard pass.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
