Paradigm Cinema 110 CT 5.1 Home Theater Surround Sound System

In my part of the world, Paradigm is not really a well-known brand when it comes to home theater sound systems. However, in other parts of the world it is actually a big-name brand. With that said, you might want to consider the Paradigm Cinema 110 CT 5.1 Home Theater Surround Sound System for your next HTS purchase.

These include two Cinema 110 satellites, two Cinema ADP that produce great surround performance, a Cinema 110 C center channel and a Cinema 110 CT subwoofer with 10-inch driver.

Individually, these components each contribute to the delivery of great sound in your home theater system.

The Cinema ADP has a frequency response of 120 Hz to 20 kHz and the Cinema 110 C center ranges from 120 Hz to 20 kHz as well.
