Its nearly ideal performance/value ratio for both music and movie watching, makes this subwoofer an instant Everything Audio Network Stellar Sound Award winner and an automatic nominee for Subwoofer of the Year 2019. Yes, it is that good." - John Gatski May 2019 http://bit.ly/2Vu3bFV "If your speaker budget tops out in the $2,000 range and you seek maximum bang for the buck, take note: Paradigm's Monitor SE system delivers the home theater sound basics in a brilliant manner." - Al Griffin Defiance V10 Defiance X10 & V10 December 2018 http://bit.ly/2CnFpQO "The Defiance V series offers outstanding value and the muscular Defiance X series offers deeper, more powerful bass. Both series are greatly enhanced with the use of ARC and the easy to use Paradigm Subwoofer Control App. It is the easiest, most flexible bass tuning system I have ever used, and I hope other manufacturers will follow Paradigm's lead." - Jim Milton Defiance V12 December 2019 http://bit.ly/2tza2AO "This is a remarkably full-featured subwoofer that performs very well in small- to medium-sized rooms. A pair of Defiance V10s can be had for the price of a slightly larger subwoofer, but will provide a more even output at different listening positions than a single subwoofer." - Brian Kahn Defiance V10 May 2019 http://bit.ly/2Zc6qiI [Translated from Swedish] "For us, the Paradigm Monitor / Atom with the Defiance V10 is a new reference here on the editorial board, in the category "best home cinema sound everyone can afford." January 2020 http://bit.ly/35yOaT8 "When Diego's review of the Paradigm Defiance V12 was published, the subwoofer earned, based on his high recommendation, our Reviewers' Choice award. In December 2019, the Defiance V12 was recognized as one of our 2019 Products of the Year: Exceptional Value. This month, we add it to our list of Recommended Reference Components -- the lowest-priced subwoofer yet to be included." - SoundStage! Hi-Fi Editors Defiance V12 September 2019 http://bit.ly/2lQ7vhM "The Defiance V12 really did perform admirably, especially considering its price. I think just about any bass head who experienced what I did in my listening room would walk away satisfied and impressed -- and the unsatisfied would be glad to know that I never got close to the maximum setting of the V12's volume control." - Diego Estan Defiance V10 May 2019 http://bit.ly/2wJXJQb "Being able to make adjustments of a single decibel or degree on the fly from my listening position while playing music was a godsend for system integration and optimization." - Hans Wetzel Defiance V8 April 2019 http://bit.ly/2Kj2iuG "The Paradigm Defiance V8 Subwoofer strikes me as an excellent addition to a small- to mid-sized 2-channel system or a humdinger of a sub for a desktop computer music system. It will never clip or overdrive with its built-in soft-clip protection. With extension down to 28 Hz, it simply will not put out the lows needed for a kick-your-seat cinema system, like its bigger brothers in the Defiance Series. But at the price point, with moderate volumes and mainly music to deliver, the V8 is a steal of a deal of a subwoofer." - Wayne Myers

“The Defiance V12 really did perform admirably,
especially considering its price. I think just about
any bass head who experienced what I did in
my listening room would walk away satisfied and
impressed -- and the unsatisfied would be glad to
know that I never got close to the maximum setting
of the V12’s volume control.”

“Being able to make adjustments of a single decibel or degree on
the fly from my listening position while playing music was a godsend
for system integration and optimization.”
