Yes-used to work for hi-fi store in KC, MO. in l963. We had a paragon on demo. It's a good but not great system. It has image problems unless you stand /sit very far back. It's the characteristic JBL forward midrange sound with bass that was "there" but not, by today's standards, anything special. It did, however, make a very dramatic visual statement. Most of the problem with the Paragon is that the system just does not make any real sense regarding phase alignment of speakers-woofers in modified horn; midrange shooting down the middle and tweeters for direction in a system that hawks its non-directionality. There are some speakers today that are much better than the paragon but NOTHING looks quite as good-the paragon was simply the only thing one needed in a room!
