Yes, the paradigm sub 15 is superb, with its on-board room correction (PBK). It gives outstanding sound.


All Goldenear speakers mesh perfectly with each other. Adding another Goldenear speaker in the form of a SuperSub X wouldn’t change that balance one bit. If the Paradigm and the T2’s mesh OK, the SuperSub and the Paradigm would also.

The super sub x or xl would be better in my case?

I would opt for a SuperSub over another Paradigm in a heartbeat. I wouldn’t worry about trying to match power, it’s far more about matching sound quality.

That was my question/concern. I guess the paradigm would pick up where the less powerful subs leave off? Or am I wrong?

You can adjust relative sound levels of each of your speakers, so no speakers will overpower any other.

I wouldn’t worry one iota about the SuperSub being overpowered or overshadowed by the Paradigm if that is your concern. The SuperSub is a powerhouse that won’t take a back seat to any other speaker in your system. I think you’ll be more than impressed with the bass slam and finesse it brings.

No. The SuperSub XXL is another step up, and if that is in your budget range, heck yeah, it’s a rafter shaker of the first order.
