Get An Unbelievable Deal On One Of The Best Bookshelf Speakers Under $500!

The Paradigm Monitor SE Atom Bookshelf Speaker is one of the best bookshelf speakers under $500, if not the best.

It competes with speakers way above that price.

They may not look like much, but there’s a boatload of tech packed in these mini-monitors. First, there are the 5-1/2″ Poly Midrange Cones with inverted caps and reverse roll surrounds for surprisingly low bass from a speaker of this size. Add to that the 1″ S-PAL (aluminum) tweeters with a Perforated Phase Alignment (PPA) Lens for smooth and extended high-frequency. This elegant piece of tech gives you incredible detail without the brightness you get from a lot of metal tweeters.

The icing on the cake is the computer-optimized second-order crossover that provides seamless dynamic integration– which means you get a big, composed presentation– at higher volumes than these little speakers have any business playing at. All this adds up to a $300 speaker that plays like a $500-600 one.

I also really love the midrange on these…vocals are amazing. The SE Atom is a great speaker to start a budget hi-fi system with!  I have them in the white color, and I find myself coming back to them all the time, even though I have access to speakers many times their price.
