Paradigm 3SE Mini Speakers

Another pair of Paradigm 3SE Mini speakers came to visit me again. this is about the sixth pair of this wonderful speaker that has graced my aural pleasures.



This pair belongs to a friend of the blog and wanted to hear them on the tube amp. These are by far one of my favorite 6.5" 2 way speakers out there and well worth seeking out if in the market for a decent set of used speakers for a smaller space.

The sound way larger than they actually are and outside of being a bit bass shy they image great with spot on mids and highs.

I did do a quick re cap with a  4.7uf Solen polypropylene cap which improved the performance immediately.

  2. Hi. Unknown again did the Solen recap and speakers sound so different
    and not in a good way. Have probably 20 hours on them. at 100 hours if can wait that long, hoping for something good to happen. Did you have a long run in time for your 3se minis to sound good again? Appreciate your reply.Happy listening.
