This is as close as I've ever gotten to actually hearing these legendary speakers. Thanks for doing this.
In 1982, I sold the last remaining retail new Paragon to a buyer in Germany. It was our showroom floor model, we didn’t have the box, it took two master carpenters to build a shipping crate in a week. Al Russo from JBL, I think he was the export VP at the time was instrumental in completing the deal.
What was the selling price in 1982? I have seen it recently for 25 K USD. Wishe I could have heard one.
What a lucky buyer ….
@@craigellsworth3952 Declared export price was $9000. I personally prepared the proforma invoice. Paragon had the most natural sound, nothing was exaggerated, nothing muffled. No matter where you sat in the listening room, no matter which way you were looking at, you were always immersed in the same extraordinarily balanced sound quality.
@moosesamli4569 Someday I hope to hear one. An older guy I bought some tubes from sold 2 new Paragons to another gent. One for him and one for his neighbor. He also bought 2 Citation amps to drive them. The purchaser was Mel Torme, The Velvet Fog.
@@craigellsworth3952 We were using Citations as well. For many years I used a pair of 4425 driven with an SAE at home.
One of most beautiful speakers ever made.
Yes sr I think the same that you 👍👌
Recording the speakers through a microphone, then playing it via youtube and possible compression, and me playing the video with the headphones jack to my stereo. Still I get the sensation that these speakers sound absolutely beautiful. Good choice of the music,,, Round midnight. 🙂
I purchased a Paragon in the mid 1990's from a guy in the west of England, it had an amazing walnut veneer but the lacquer on the top was opaque and lifting.
I had a local cabinet maker who was a master craftsmen restore it as sensitively as possible. When he returned to me it look magnificent.
It was in perfect order electrically, it had been never been messed around with and was just perfect. I can remember reassembling it for the first and listening to it for an extended period of time with various valve amplifiers.
I could never really get it to sound as good as it looked, to be fair I had original autographs, gold, red and silver and a genuine pair of acoustilens that all sounded better in my room.
That said an iconic speaker and one I'd love to own again as a piece of history.
What did you find to be the biggest fault? In this video it sounds a bit too bright.
What beautiful vintage HIFI
Beautiful.
空間を漂うリアルなギターの音色が素晴らしい。
羨ましい！
Now that’s a nice stereo, great speaker, record player and preamp, I almost thought I caught a glimpse of a Marantz 9 in the rack
Vi tu colección en un video reciente del Gurú del audio vintage, Gustavo. Impresionante colección de equIpo! Y este Paragon suena increíble. Debe ser un placer escucharlo en persona! Yo lo conocí viendo los videos de Kenrick Sound de Japón. Ojalá puedan con Gustavo organizar alguna Expo en la cual los aficionados del audio podamos al menos un día apreciar estas maravillas! Saludos!
Si algún pablo algún día lo debo hacer para que la gente conozca este patrimonio del audio Muchísimas gracias

Хороший звук🎉🎉🎉
I think a FR graph of the speakers is similar to heights map of Himalaya?
Надо 19 века какую нибудь акустику послушать
it's amazing how old speakers sound better than the shit we have today.
Actually the new shit we have today sounds amazing. Now is the Golden Age of HiFi... and that's coming from a very old guy who grew up and owned a lot of that 'old shit.'

EL MODELO DE JBL PARANGON O D44000 FUE UNO DE LOS MODELOS MAS CAROS Y EL QUE MAS DURO EN EL TIEMPO YA QUE SE PRESENTO EN SALON DE VENTAS EN 1957 Y...... FUE RECIEN DISCONTINUADO EN EL AÑO 1983 EN TODO ESE TIEMPO SOLO SE HICIERON 1000 UNIDADES ASI QUE DEBIA SER CARITO EL MUEBLE NO?????? PERO COMO SUENA...!!!
Wow ... Heard one of these years ago and it was the worst thing I ever did in hifi ... It made MY
system sound like a portable radio ... I wanted one so bad but the wife n money said No ... Awesome speaker and furniture
I know how you feel!
Sounds really good on my iPhone lol
Wowzers
what is name of music?
Un moment du son et elles ont mon âge
What is this song?
Where you get this album in vynil? Can you send code on vynil record?
What is the song it sounds?
It sounds like a big mono spkr, you need separate units. The room is full of sound, but devoid of any soundstage🔊🔊😇.
I have one of these! Trying to get it set up to be used again, but don’t know anything about setting it up
Could you give me some detail on your setup and what you have the feet of the cabinet sitting on? Looks different then mine
Which aspect of setup are you looking for help with? The console (speaker) itself pushes together from the two halves then is locked together at the front with “pins” after this the curved front baffle is inserted. In this video the user has additional blocks of wood on the ground to lift his paragon up. It’s only speculation but I suspect he has lifted it up to reduce any potential bass bloat. If you need crossover or drive unit help I’ll need some details.
家に置いてみたい
Does anybody know what is the music playing in this clip?? Thanks
