Review on Enhance Your Audio Experience with Paradigm Monitor SE Atom Bookshelf Speaker Pair in Sleek Matte Black! by Amy Mears

These Paradigm SE Atoms are awesome! Crystal clear sound at any volume, rich, full sound, solid Canadian assembly. They open up at mid/high volume but still sound better than average for their price and at low volume. The woofers take a little longer to break in as they are quite stiff, but the bass is very tight and precise right out of the box. The aluminum tweeters add a surprising amount of brilliance to the Paradigm and really have impressive extension and clarity at the top. These monitor atoms really shine in the mids, which are just gorgeous and buttery smooth. Think Elak b5/b6 but better. The bass is also deep and rich, although real bass players might need a little more. Great for music, but also better than expected for TV and movies. I've always loved the medium, full, clean and balanced Paradigms sound and these SE Atoms don't disappoint. The even distribution of the high frequencies by aluminum tweeters was also a pleasant surprise. I use them in 2.0 settings mostly for music and sometimes for action movies. You can compare them to the Klipsch RP line, Infinity Reference, KEF, Elac and others in this price range as I have done side by side and the Paradigms win easily for me. Its silky smooth mids, clarity, volume and tireless tone are unmatched at this price point. Highly recommended. I love them so much I bought 2 pairs! True entry-level audiophile sound at a bargain price.
