Paradigm & Anthem Proud to Take Part in Extreme Makeover Home Edition Keefer Family Project

When a gymnastics accident left teenager Brian Keefer paralyzed from the neck down, his father Steve quit his job to dedicate the entirety of his time to his son’s recovery, including escorting him to college day-to-day. However, given the layout of the Keefer family’s home, it became somewhat of a prison for Brian because he was confined to the main floor - but not for long...

 

The Extreme Makeover Home Edition team redesigned and built the home salvaging only a few key rooms of the old home, while designing an entirely new wing specifically for Brian, complete with a voice activated home automation system, a monitoring system and an aqua therapy pool on the flip-side of the motorized Draper screen that has become Brian’s new home theater.

And what better opportunity for Paradigm & Anthem to take part in this incredible project, then with the inclusion of a theater room? As soon as the opportunity presented itself we were quick to jump on board and donate an array of speakers and electronics to the Extreme team. In the theater room and throughout the home there are a total of twelve PCS and CS series in-wall speakers, two Reference Millenia 20 on-wall LCR speakers, an X-300 in-wall amplifier, Stylus and Rock Monitor outdoor speakers. From Anthem the speakers are powered with an MRX-300 receiver and a PVA 4 amplifier.

CEDIA EXPO 2011 - A Raging Success and a whole lotta fun for Paradigm & Anthem!

It would be impossible to say that CEDIA 2011 was anything but a success for Paradigm & Anthem. With the introduction of many products (and product lines!) three active demos and sneak previews of multiple unreleased products, the booth was buzzing with excitement and the mass amounts of show coverage by the press is proof of that.

Paradigm introduced the all new Monitor Series 7 speaker line and showed off their acoustic muscle in a 7.4 demo for hundreds of show attendees. Also highlighted was the Millenia LP low-profile on-wall L/C/R, which hung proudly snug to the wall ...

Paradigm also provided a sneak preview of the upcoming Monitor Series subwoofers flaunting wireless and PBK capability and thin-bezel Designer Series in-walls.

Anthem introduced the state-of-the-art Statement M1 amplifier. Boasting 1 kilowatt into 8 ohms and only 1 rack unit in height, this powerhouse is the most powerful, slender and best-value amplifier on the market! Anthem also previewed the upcoming AVM 50v 3D and D2v 3D preamplifier/processors.

Also at the booth was the first ever listening bar from Paradigm SHIFT.  With all three earbuds (E1, E2m, E3m hooked up to iPad stations and the A2 powered speakers pumping tunes straight from a mixdeck, visitors tapped their feet and bobbed their heads while indulging in good quality audio catered to their individual musical preference.

"For those with small to medium size rooms, I can’t think of a better choice than the Paradigm MilleniaOne series" - Andre Marc of AVRev

Andre Marc of AVRev reviewed the Paradigm Reference MilleniaOne 5.0 speakers paired with the affordable and compact Paradigm SE Sub and gave them "many thumbs up". 

"For those with small to medium size media rooms, I can’t think of a better choice than the Paradigm MilleniaOne series. They look great, are easy to position, via wall mounting or the supplied stands, and most importantly, can be configured as two channel, two channel with sub, or multichannel. I believe there are not too many other companies who could pull off all of the above. I guess that is one of the benefits of having a broad product line, a state of the art design and production facility, and a nice R&D budget, as Paradigm does.  Many thumbs up for the MilleniaOne series."
