Paradigm monitor 3000f vloerstaande speaker set. Set vloerstaande speakers in hoog glans wit. Speakers zijn in prima functionerende staat maar 1 ervan heeft een klein schoonheidsfoutje. Het fineer op
Paradigm’s Monitor series has long been a solid value play for listeners who want proper hi-fi presentation without chasing boutique pricing. At €550, this asks above your database median of €288 and also above the €655 75th percentile? No — it sits between the median and upper quartile, so it reads as fair-to-ambitious, not a bargain.
What makes it interesting is the usual Paradigm strengths: lively dynamics, punchy bass for the class, and a clean, easy-to-drive sound that works well in real rooms. If the pair is complete, cosmetically tidy, and the drivers are original and healthy, it’s a sensible buy for someone wanting a capable standmount-style speaker with good musical snap. At this level, I’d mainly want confirmation of undamaged tweeters, even bass output from both cabinets, and intact grilles/accessories.
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.
