I researched the figures a few months ago, and Paradigm was at $10M. Then I whipped up the same sites, and now I get $25-40M. That would actually put it just behind McIntosh Labs.

I was trying to research whether the traditional audio industry was contracting in a disruptive era of Bluetooth speakers and wireless sound bars. I gave up, because there were wildly different estimates of the North American and global market size. What I did discover was that Klipsch, Onkyo, Pioneer Electronics, and Monster Cable were shrinking or consolidating.

I'd have to find the source again, but there were some industry commentators who said the loudspeaker industry had 25%-50% more brands than what the market could support.

I will. I was looking for a system in my back living room, which has a Beam 2 connected. I have another family room connected to the kitchen with a fireplace (TV mounted over). I'm now almost convinced I'm going to go with a pair of M5 on wall above the fireplace with the Sonos Amp. This will be primarily for music, but when I watch TV I can take advantage of the phantom center channel to have good enough TV audio. Then I'll build out a movie system in the back room, likely with Sonos gear for movies. I really want decent sound in the kitchen, and this will provide that. I love the thought of the Sonos Amp because I can hide it way anywhere and just use my phone. It'll be awhile before I receive and install the gear but I'll let you know how it does.
