JBL Metregon and Paragon

Of late I have been enamored by the look of these systems. They seem to be quite unique. All I can comment on is they look stunning, like well built pieces of furniture. Heirloom quality even.

I am sure there are those of you with experience with these. I would love to hear your impressions of these systems. What do they sound like? Are they high quality systems? Do they live up to and deliver on their wide dispersion with pinpoint imaging claims?

And if they are as good as literature makes them out to be, why don't we see others employ the same premise? Yes there are modern speakers that try to deliver the same experience through various means, why not reflector like the JBL?

Appreciate your input.

Best

Viridian,

A few months ago I tried to post the link to the Paragon but the moderators wouldn't allow it.

The ad is no longer active, if you go to eBay/vintage speakers/completed listings/jbl paragon, it will come up and has a full description. Looks cool.

Best,

Dave

You're welcome. Checkout the guy Matt who is selling one. Checkout his system with all the Marantz gear.

Love to hear what you think!

Best,

He did have a square in one photo for scale. I saw another the other day, a Paragon asking $48999.00! It is incredible what the low serial numbers go for.

Some of them look to be in incredible condition.
What did they retail for back in the day?

Best
