The Reference center uses the exact same tweeter and mid/bass driver as the 40s, only in a horizontal d'Apolito array. It's cabinet is visually unique, a design that is becoming a Paradigm signature: The side profile is something of an uneven trapezoid which ends up giving the front baffle a slight upward angle. The endcaps are false grilles being of the same cloth as the real grille on the front. This gives it a pleasant sculpted look and makes it trap light, an important trait for an object so close to a high performance visual system in a darkened room.
Studio/CC: One 1" done tweeter, Two 6.5" Mid/Bass drivers. 8 Ohms nominal.
