JBL Paragon
(1957 - 1983+)

Probably the one and only loudspeaker that should deserve a place in a museum's sculpture department.

This was for the rich, of course. And those who had a large, very large, room to display such a piece - at 300kg, one needs a fair floor, too.
Hand-made like only the 1960s allowed to, it is probable that no two Paragons are exactly alike. A sumptuous piece of design, it also is a JBL loudspeaker from the glorious days when high efficiency ruled.

I have much much on the Paragon, Metregon and Minigon - stay tuned ! In the meantime, a review and installation by CadillacMan
