This Paradigm E80-A v2 is Priced and Sold as Each

 The CI Elite series is Made in Canada and has all the technology advantages of our CI PRO Series, but Paradigm didn't stop there. It's packed full of features that make a difference, and it doesn't get much sweeter than this when looking for the ultimate sound performance.

Aluminum Magnesium Ceramic (AL-MAC™) Tweeter

Aluminum Magnesium Ceramic (AL-MAC™) Tweeter with Exclusive Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA™) Tweeter Lens protects the delicate tweeter dome. AL-MAC™ is our unique blend of Aluminum, Magnesium, and Ceramic materials; each of which contribute to the end goal of greater accuracy and realism. Their special properties contribute to the final product which is not only strong and lightweight, but embodies a natural anti-resonance to ensure the tweeter doesn’t just sound good “on paper” but truly sounds incredible in the real world. 

Aluminum Magnesium (AL-MAG™) Cones

Similar to the goals we had in mind when developing the AL-MAC™ tweeter, Paradigm's Aluminum Magnesium (AL-MAG™) Cones were conceived to bring the same elevated level of performance to the area where our ears are the most sensitive. In addition, AL-MAG™ combines a high stiffness-to-mass ratio with superior internal damping for greater accuracy. 

Die-Cast Aluminum Baffles for Added Strength and Rigidity

The exclusive blend of Nylon reinforced CARBON-X Baffles (in-ceiling models only) combined with Paradigms patented Advanced Shock-Mount System adds increased rigidity, improving bass response and midrange performance, all while reducing performance-revving vibrations and resonances between the chassis and the acoustic platform.

 Advanced Shock-Mount™ System (baffle/basket isolation) mechanically decouples the die-cast aluminum baskets from the specially formulated nylon reinforced CARBON-X Baffles, reducing performance-robbing vibrations and resonance between the chassis and the acoustic platform. Without these resonances, all drivers are left free to deliver pure, unaltered sound with no audible distortion.
