DT’s ‘Better Than Socks’ Holiday Giveaway: Paradigm Millenia CT 2.1 Multimedia System

Paradigm giveaway headerThere’s a reason that WAF (Wife Approval Factor) is a prevalent acronym in A/V circles. Putting together an audio system that will pass muster with your significant other without sacrificing the audio quality you demand is a tall order. Thankfully, Paradigm has managed to make such a compromise a no-brainer with its Millenia CT 2.1 Multimedia System.

Since the Paradigm Millenia CT 2.1 system is a completely self-contained, fully powered audio solution, there’s no ugly black boxes to try to hide from view. The system includes two Paradigm Reference MilleniaOne speakers that are armed with 4-inch treated-aluminum midbass drivers and 1-inch treated aluminum dome tweeters. Those drivers are housed inside a robust, die-cast aluminum cabinet, available with an outstanding gloss-black or gloss-white finish. Anchoring the low end is Paradigm’s Millenia Sub which, we assure you, sounds just as good as it looks.

The system can be connected to just about any source that outputs audio. Your smartphones, MP3 players, laptop and desktop computers, and even your home entertainment center have never sounded so good. And, believe it or not, we’re giving one of these terrific systems away as part of our ‘Better Than Socks’ Holiday Giveaway.

To enter, just leave a comment below telling us about the first sound system you ever bought for yourself. We’ll close the contest and pick a winner on December 29, 2012.

Don’t forget to check out the rest of DT’s “Better Than Socks” Holiday Giveaways all month long. Good luck!

The company is responsible for many of the best soundbars of 2024, thanks to a combination of rich audio, time-tested reliability, and (fairly) reasonable prices. Sonos soundbars are great for home theaters, but they're just as capable of serving as a dedicated sound system for your favorite music, making them a hot commodity among all types of shoppers.

But which Sonos soundbar is the best? Many specs are shared across all devices in its lineup, which can make it difficult to figure out which is best for your needs. Should you opt for the expensive Sonos Arc? Or would you be better served by the affordable Sonos Ray? And what about the mid-range Beam – is it good enough to serve as the anchor of your home theater?

Samsung S95D OLED first look: a reflection on excellence
Samsung S95D OLED

I recently traveled to New Jersey to visit Samsung for an up-close and personal look at the flagship TVs in its 2024 lineup, which includes Samsung’s 8K Neo-QLED and 4K Neo-QLEDs, and the reason we’re here today: the S95D.

The S95D is Samsung’s flagship OLED TV for 2024, and it has been the subject of some consternation for some TV enthusiasts because it has a new anti-glare or anti-reflective screen coating. Is there any merit to that concern? Has it overshadowed how good this TV could actually be thanks to a new 3rd generation QD-OLED panel? Is it any brighter? Should we be excited about this TV?
