Overview

The Paradigm Premier 720F V2 is a high-performance, 3-way Floor Standing speaker engineered to deliver reference-level clarity and dynamic impact in a room-friendly footprint. It addresses the challenge of fitting large-scale, high-fidelity sound into medium-sized living spaces or dedicated home theaters by utilizing dual 6-inch bass drivers optimized for speed and transient precision. Armed with a suite of proprietary driver technologies inherited directly from Paradigm's flagship lines, it achieves an exceptionally linear frequency response with vanishingly low distortion. This Floor Standing tower pairs advanced acoustic engineering with a premium, furniture-grade aesthetic to honor the authentic details of high-resolution music and cinematic soundtracks alike.

Simcoe Audio Video Insight

The Premier series represents a significant milestone in high-end audio values, and the V2 generation refines that legacy beautifully. In our showroom evaluations, the 720F V2 stands out as an incredibly versatile performer; it inherits the exact same advanced AL-MAC ceramic dome tweeter and 6-inch AL-MAG midrange driver arrays as its larger sibling, but packages them in a slightly more slender profile. Elevated on flagship-inspired Outrigger Shock-Mount feet, it effectively decouples itself from floor vibrations to clean up mid-bass muddiness. It delivers a fast, articulate, and deeply engaging soundstage that easily ranks it as a class favorite.

Pro Tip: Boasting a highly efficient in-room sensitivity rating of 92dB and an 8-ohm compatible impedance, the Premier 720F V2 can be easily driven by a premium multi-channel home theater receiver. However, to fully unlock the lower-frequency driver stroke and maximize the front-to-back depth of its three-dimensional imaging, feeding these Floor Standing towers with a clean discrete power amplifier is highly recommended.

More Details

Why It Wins

• AL-MAC™ Ceramic Tweeter: Combines a lightweight, ultra-rigid blend of aluminum, magnesium, and ceramic to achieve highly detailed high frequencies while eliminating harsh resonance peaks.
• Carbon-X™ Unibody Woofers: Employs two 6-inch single-piece unibody cones coupled with Active Ridge Technology (ART™) surrounds, delivering a massive 3dB gain in output and a 50% reduction in bass distortion.
• OSW™ Waveguide & PPA™ Lenses: Incorporates an Oblate Spherical Waveguide alongside patented Perforated Phase-Aligning lenses to focus sound precisely toward the listening sweet spot while neutralizing out-of-phase room reflections.

What Makes It Different

• In-House Driver Synergy: Rather than utilizing generic off-the-shelf components, Paradigm designs and optimizes their motor structures in-house to operate in absolute synergy with the crossovers, featuring a premium 2-inch multi-layered voice coil on the midrange driver.
• Advanced Substructure: Built with precision internal bracing and key driver mounting solutions like the Vertical Mounting System, ensuring the cabinet behaves as a perfectly stable platform.

Technical Highlights

• 3-Way Electro-Acoustic Crossover: Features smooth 2nd-order slopes at 1.3kHz and 500Hz, keeping each dedicated driver operating entirely within its optimal frequency comfort zone.
• Ventilated Apical™ Formers: Implemented within the voice coils of both the midrange and bass drivers to manage high temperature dissipation and maintain continuous flux linearity.
• Deep Low-Frequency Extension: Achieves an impressive low-frequency DIN rating of 27Hz, providing ample bass weight and punch without requiring an immediate companion subwoofer.
