Overview
Paradigm's 1220000020 pairs a 1 inch tweeter driver with wired connectivity and a tabletop mount, all in a matte black finish, at a substantial 19 lb. It's built for buyers assembling a wired home theater speaker system rather than a wireless setup.
The spec blob labels the driver type as a tweeter, which usually refers to the high frequency element inside a larger speaker rather than the whole unit, and the 19 lb weight and tabletop mounting option both point to a fuller speaker cabinet rather than a bare tweeter driver on its own. Paradigm is a known name in home audio, and this listing sits under wired connectivity with no wireless option mentioned.
