Does any one know anything about Paradox TA-12 speakers? They were made by Sonic Energy System back in 197x. I came across a pair in very good condition and would like to restore them. Would it worth my effort? The quality of the sound is great. There is an article about this speaker in March 1977 issue of High Fidelity magazine. Anyone has read the article and can share a copy?
Any help to find out about these speakers are appreciated.
What do you mean by restore them? The Paradox TA-12 had astounding imaging, clarity, and dynamic range for a speaker in it's price range. They were more a product of the art of the technology not the science of the technology, a lucky combination of drivers with near perfect compliment. Therefore replacing the drivers or even reconing might destroy the magic. RMc

i joined this site just to find out something about these amazing speakers!! i got mine for 20 bucks and just had to refoam the woofers!! but i still no nothing about them. i'd like to know the history,what thy're worth etc. (i don't think i'll ever sell em though!). these speakers have stopped my search for the perfect sounding loudspeaker. ive ran through a few,i really like my altec lansing model 14's but really these blow them away!!...i'm still stunned when i play them. i'm a TOOL fan and these speakers were made to play thier music!!!..heres my email please let me know what you have found out about these big ol miracles!!!....eugenedean@hotmail.com...thank you!!
I have a pair of the TA-12's I bought used about 15 years ago. They are by far the best sounding speakers I've ever owned. The woofers were wasted so I replaced them with 60oz magnets, awesome sound. I wish I could find another pair for my surround sound system.
