When listening to music, the 2000SW had a knack for sounding utterly natural and seemed to integrate seamlessly with my Salk Songtowers at an 80Hz crossover. All the things I look for when listening to a subwoofer with music seemed to be handled deftly by the Paradigm 2000SW. Lower register piano keys were authoritative and weighty, kick drums hit solidly and were suitably felt at volume, and stand-up bass lines were thick and deep sounding without losing any of the micro details in the string sounds. Overall pitch definition was excellent as well. This subwoofer definitely relayed all the subtle nuances in different bass instruments where lesser designs can sound monotonous and one-note-ish.”

” On movies there was decent authority and punch to all the material I ran through it. While I felt that I was occasionally missing some of the deeper sounds that you tend to feel more than hear, the 2000SW’s clean and consistent bass reproduction across my entire room was an acceptable compromise to have. In fact, with PBK, when it came time to having both subwoofers running, really was “gilding the lily” so to speak. The biggest benefit with duals in this case was the added headroom so the subs didn’t have to stress so much with challenging material. Although with either single or dual subwoofers in use I never got the sense that I was pushing the 2000SW into uncomfortable territory. I did at times witness some impressive driver cone movement so that scalloped driver surround looks like it is doing its job quite well.”
