Hey, Zilch,

WOW!!! I've just enjoyed two cups of hot Earl Grey tea (decaf, of course!), whilst I negotiated my way through that outstanding thread you recommended!! FANTASTIC stuff, there, Mate!! Well done, and HUZZAH to you and to the other Gents that banded together to come up with the wonderful final results of your efforts!! I've save the end results, and will most definitely upgrade both my pairs of M7's! Thank you, and the others, for some absolutely stellar work, Zilch!! I've read it here, and at AK, before, but I'll say it, too, "You da' MAN"!!! Take care, and God Bless!

Every Good Wish,
Doc

So let me see if I got this right. The Pargon II wider with two updated minimus 7's one on each side hidden back inside and a JBL sub in the closet.

That's cool... are you going to attempt building a Paragon?

Even though it may not be sonically what many would want, I could see it being a very rewarding experience. I have thought about building one... I am sure I could do it, though probably not as quickly as some of our illustrious members.

I did think about doing it but after reading the post about them being outdated I think I may pass now. I have thought about making a scale model just for fun (easer and cheaper).
I also know I am sure I could do it, though probably not as quickly OR AS GOOD as some of our illustrious members.

The idea of the Paragon II sounded very good using new speakers and bigger that Maron was talking about but I could never be able to design it.

As i stated before the Paragon is sonicly dated,,, But can be redesigned to resemble a expanded Metragon over 8 or 9 feet wide,,Useing the same curved panel size (Width),,, Plus useing the Array verticle horn/driver and a more advanced woofer concept. After all the Everest II is not that far off from the JBL 4435 low frequency concept,,but useing more state of the art transducers. Paragon II

There are 88 items including Technical Manual Schematics. I included an example page.
