Our take on the Paradigm Millenia CT™

by Dave Bar

A modern system that fills your room with sound — not components

Paradigm says CT stands for Compact Theater, but there's nothing compact about the way this powered speaker system sounds. The Millenia CT three-piece design delivers true high-fidelity for a plug-and-play world — no receiver required. Pair it with your TV and an audio/video source like a Blu-ray or DVD player, or Apple TV® to create a small but highly potent home theater setup. The Millenia CT makes an excellent alternative to typical sound bar speakers by giving you much-needed stereo separation for more realistic sound. You can also plug in your smartphone or portable music player to enjoy fantastic, full-range music playback. The system comes with everything you need for quick, easy setup.

Paradigm Millenia CT subwoofer/amp lifestyle

Millenia CT's modern, low-profile design fits in with almost any décor.


Makes a great desktop setup, too

Paradigm Millenia CT

Along with its ability to fill a room with rich detailed sound, the Millenia CT also makes an excellent near-field, desktop audio system. Connected to your computer, it will bring your music to life and add impact and realism to your video games. Included desktop speaker stands allow you to adjust the satellites to achieve the perfect listening angle. The system's small interface box provides analog and digital audio inputs for your sources, and hooks up to the Millenia CT's subwoofer with a supplied cable. The small, five-button remote controls the system.


Engineered for better sound

Millenia CT satellite speakers exploded view

The Millenia's high-quality drivers and crossovers ensure crisp, detailed sound.

As an award-winning, high-end speaker manufacturer, Paradigm takes engineering and audio performance seriously. That's why the Millenia CT speakers are built to exacting standards with high-quality component parts. The satellite's pure aluminum dome tweeters and bass/midrange cones serve up precise, detailed sound. The system's subwoofer uses an 8˝ reinforced polymer composite cone in a ported enclosure for deep, solid bass. You can position the sub horizontally, using four supplied rubber feet, or place it vertically in the included stand. The sub's built-in, three-channel amplifier powers the satellite speakers with 40 watts each, while pushing 80 watts of power to the bass driver. Proprietary digital signal processing in the amp monitors the music signal to ensure accurate, consistent and musical bass without distortion, even when the system is playing at high volume levels.

Highlights:

  • three-piece powered system with two satellite speakers and a subwoofer
  • compact interface box includes a Toslink optical digital and 3.5mm analog audio input for connecting two source components, such as a Blu-ray/DVD/CD player, TV, computer, game console, or portable music player

    Features

    Overview: The 2.1 Millenia CT System includes two satellite speakers, a low-profile subwoofer with built-in system amp, control box, and IR remote. The 2.1 Millenia CT makes a great addition to your flat-panel television, gaming console, or computer. It provides a vastly improved listening experience for your movies, music, and games.

    Satellite Speakers: The 2.1 Millenia CT System features a pair of two-way satellite speakers. The speakers feature a rigid, resonant-resistant thermoplastic (ABS). This sophisticated enclosure and integrated baffle and chassis allow for larger, more powerful drivers than typical in a system of this size. Each satellite speaker features a 1" S-PAL (Satin-Anodized Pure-Aluminum) dome tweeter and a 4" S-PAL (Satin-Anodized Pure-Aluminum) bass/midrange driver. Rubber surrounds around the bass/midrange drivers provide superb damping properties and excellent flexibility that promote extended cone movement. A 3rd-order electro-acoustic crossover (2.4 kHz) separates the bass/midrange frequencies from the high frequencies. Each enclosure features a rear-firing port for added efficiency and bass response. Low-diffraction grilles maximize imaging and ensure smooth dispersion.

    Powered Subwoofer: The low-profile subwoofer uses a resonant- and vibration-resistant molded polymer cabinet. The enclosure employs dual high-velocity low-turbulence resistive ports (front-firing) for greater efficiency and bigger bass response. The 8" reinforced polymer composite woofer (side- or down-firing) with a 1.5" high-temperature voice coil delivers deep bass. The powerful built-in 3-channel Ultra-Class D amplifier provides 40 watts (RMS) to each satellite speaker and 80 watts (RMS) to the subwoofer. System peak power is 480 watts.

    Connections: The system's control box is fitted with an optical (toslink) digital input and analog (3.5mm) audio input to connect to your TV, game console, or computer. There is also a RJ-45 port which connects the control box to the system's powered subwoofer, using the included 15' RG-45 cable. There are proprietary two-prong speaker terminals on the back of each speaker and subwoofer, as well as two 15' lengths of speaker wire that connect the speakers and sub together. The powered subwoofer needs be plugged into an AC power outlet using the included 6' power cord.

    Controls: The included IR remote provides Power, Input, Volume, and Mute controls. The remote is powered by a single CR2025 3V lithium battery (already installed). There is a subwoofer level control on the rear-panel of the powered sub to adjust the system's bass level independent from the system's volume level.

    Mounting Options: The two satellite speakers can be table-top mounted using the included table-stands or wall mounted using Paradigm's optional wall-mount brackets (sold separately). The powered subwoofer comes with a cradle to mount it vertically or rubber feet to position it horizontally. The powered sub's 8" woofer is front-firing when vertically positioned and down-firing when horizontally positioned.

    Dimensions:

    • Satellite Speaker (w/ Table-Top Stand):  4.625" (w) x 8.875" (h) x 6.5625" (d)
    • Powered Sub:
      • w/ Vertical Stand: 5.75" (w) x 14.8125" (h) x 16.875" (d)
      • w/ Rubber Feet (horizontal): 13.9375" (w) x 5.6875" (h) x 16.875" (d)
    • Control Box: 3.875" (w) x 1.0625" (h) 4.25" (d)

    Fantastic

    Written By RGS, Texas on Monday, January 07, 2013
     
    I bought these for my iMac after trying many other speakers. The built-in iMac speakers are horrible. These sounded great when I installed them. The first thing I did was take off the speaker grilles. That alone made a huge difference. I wanted more than great so I added the Dragonfly D/A. After breaking in the speakers for about a week, the sound was unbelievable. I could not believe the soundstage these speakers offered. Once they were placed just right, they came very close to my dedicated stereo setup in the family room.
    Pros:
    Very high quality speakers. Incredible sound.
    Cons:
    At least for me, I had to add the Dragonfly. That took them from $700 speakers to $1,000 speakers. That is a bit pricey for computer speakers.

    Solid Sound and Quality Cosmetics

    Written By raidoman1980, Carmel, CA on Wednesday, December 12, 2012
     
    I just upgraded to the Paradigm Millenia CT system from the Bose Companion 3 (series 2). This review will likely be a direct comparison between the two as a frame of reference - not necessarily b/c Bose represents a standard for comparison but rather because the Bose systems are readily available and I image if you are considering these (at least for a computer system) you've listened to the Bose.

    Aesthetics and Design: Bose did a good job with aesthetics - compact, sharp appearance, and easy volume controls. These are the next level, particularly in the aesthetics as they clearly look like top quality speakers (grills removed). I enjoyed the "hockey puck" control over the remote but it works just fine. The speakers take up more space but they are not obtrusive on a desktop.

    Sound Quality: I spent a solid hour doing a side by side comparison between the two systems including songs from Mumford, Passion Pit, U2. I'm using an NuForce uDAC 2 digital-analog converter (highly recommended). The Paradigm speakers offer SIGNIFICANTLY clearer highs, more defined midrange, and deeper and punchier bass. The Bose aren't bad, they just cannot compete with the fullness of the Paradigms. In fact, these Paradigms can compete with my B+W 685 Bookshelf speakers in terms of clarity and sound representation.
    Pros:
    The best aspect of these Paradigms are the crisp sound and sharp presentation. Vocals are richer, guitars are more defined, and the punch is far greater (at least over any other computer setup I've used). If you don't have a DAC, don't listen to 256kbps quality MP3s, I'm not sure you'll appreciate the difference between these and the Bose but if you're interesting in quality hi-fi without the fuss of a receiver, speaker stands, and loss of space then these (like me) are for you.
    Cons:
    One caveat - the Paradigm sub is great, it puts out rich and clear bass. But don't expect it to compete with a standalone sub from a home audio system. It's a slightly different sound - more of a low-mid-range sound (oxymoron but best I can describe it). It still sounds like a computer sub, just a very great computer sub. The other minor complaint is the speaker terminal connections - I prefer standard connections over system-specific connections, for future compatibility.

    Petite power

    Written By AKB, NY on Monday, November 26, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Lovely set of speakers and sub is as powerful as I will ever need. Construction is top notch with weighty and solid pieces all around save for remote. Connections are a snap. My gripes: 1- mini-jack plug and digital optical are the only way to connect this system to anything you want amplified. 2- Volume control MUST be via supllied small plastic buttons. Those are 2 big issues and I don't like them but the system does perform well and sound quality as expected. Provided you know about my 1 & 2 and are ok with it- you will be happy.

    Worth every dollar spent

    Written By JonJoh, Pittsburgh, PA on Sunday, November 11, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I am not an audio techno but I do appreciate good sound. My primary purpose in buying new speakers was to get better sound for online music and CD playback from a Laptop with Beats Audio and HQ subscription from online music providers. My old bookshelf speakers just left me wanting something more. Thanks to Crutchfield help in deciding between a couple choices I was thinking, I went with Paradigm Millenia CT. WOW - from the packaging in the box to the quality feel of the speakers when just removing from the box, I was just amazed. EASY setup and EXCELLENT directions provided for novices like myself. The quality of the sound just follows in line - for a bookshelf system, this is truly unsurpassed and I'm just using the analog input. I want to thank both Crutchfield and Paradigm for helping me experience quality audio - no distortion even at higher volumes, excellent harmonics at all levels. THANK YOU ! Strongly recommended for the price !!!
    Pros:
    Everything.
    Cons:
    Nothing.
