please help an audiophile's widow


Hi Guys,

Can anyone tell me what a comparable speaker would be to a Paradigm B3TWHF-TIM-030 Someone blew up my deceased husband's system and I think this is what I need. I desperately miss the sound! Thank you!

@erik_squires Looks like the 3 trailing numbers are for the same tweeter/driver, but different waveguides for different model speakers. 

 

Firstly I am sorry for your loss not only of your spouse, also for the music that brings you comfort.

maybe reach out directly to paradigm directly for guidance. In my experience with them back in the day they were very responsive.

sorry for your loss of your husband and the speaker. Do you have a picture you can post? That would be a big help.

The best way to reach Paradigm is at: support@Paradigm.com  

They will get back to you fairly quickly to answer any questions you may have,

@bruce11 First and foremost, sorry for your loss!

In response to your question, when you say, "Someone blew up my deceased husband's system", do you mean the tweeters were blown out?  The information you provided is the model number for the tweeter used in the Paradigm Monitor 9; probably the model 2 version.  Did you have BOTH speakers tested by a qualified professional?  If so, that person ought to be able to repair the speakers with the proper parts at a reasonable price.  I owned a pair of Paradigm Monitor 9 originals (i.e.  first version) for over a decade.  With proper amplification, those are fantastic speakers!  In order to replicate or get that quality of sound, these days, you'll have to spend somewhere around $2,500 and up, new.  I would recommend contacting Paradigm and asking for an approved repair person(s).

Good luck!
