Paradigm Reference Signature SUB 1 and SUB 2 First Look

The sun was not out, it was too wet to play so we sat in the house and watched movies all day.
I sat there with Clint, we sat there we two, and we thought, "How I think that this bass will not do."
We two were so sad and so mad at the bass, which was decidedly not really all that much in our face.
What we wanted was bass that was deep and was strong. Bass that wasn't afraid to break walls. 

We needed new subs, two new subs we surmised. Subs with lots of drivers but not lots of size.
We wanted two subs, that glistened and gleamed, with pairs of drivers on three of the seams.
Gloss black and triangular with drivers 10 inches wide, though for a smaller sub 8 inches would do just fine.
They'd need lots of drivers all pointing out, the radial alignment would keep the subs stout.

No internal forces would be left unchecked, the subs would barely vibrate a bit.
But power they'd need, and power they'd get. Amps measuring their output in the thousands we'd bet.
But would output be enough? Enough just to play clean? No, they'd have to be beautiful and lovely it seems.
They'd have to be rounded and glossy and black. They'd have to be slick and sick or there'd be flack.

As we talked we heard a thump!
How that thump made us jump!

We looked and we saw it right there on a floor, a box, no two! Definitely no more.
Large though they were we couldn't help but grin, for the subs we were wanting were contained there within.
We unpacked them, we unwrapped them, we took off their sock. We plugged them in, turned them on and gave them a knock.
We looked at the drivers which looked very hale, they were sturdy, and massive and unlikely to fail.

The amps with soft clipping and thermal protection, with trigger, auto on/off, Power Factor Correction.
They had USB ports and all the usual controls, though we didn't actually see them we can surely suppose.
When we turned on the movie we felt almost crippled, though the glass of water on top did not ripple.
Truly these subs were a sight to behold with their beautiful finishes that seem to never get old.

Now so happy we knew not what to do, we looked on the back it read SUB 1 and SUB 2.
We were so happy, but started to get ill, when Paradigm finally showed up with the bill.
$7500 and $3500 was quite a sum! That seemed a little steep for SUB 2 and SUB 1.
So if you have the money (and we think some of you do), you might want to check out SUB 1 and SUB 2.

For pricey they might be, they certainly should preform, for with Paradigm that certainly has been the norm.
But our wives they came home and our wives said, "No, no! Those two subs shake the house those two subs just must go!"
"But honey," we exclaimed as we tried to explain, "these subs are good subs!" We couldn't help but exclaim.
But our wives tapped their foot, our wives crossed their arms, and in the end we decided they held all the cards.

If you have to get rid of SUB 1 and SUB 2, you could spend that money on a Gotham it's true.
In the end our wives just had too much sway and we said,  "We had fun with them if only for the day."
