The Paradigm Defiance X10 Subwoofer delivers crushing low-frequency impact and subterranean bass extension engineered for performance-driven home theater and hi-fi audio systems.

Featuring mobile app volume control and full integration with Anthem Room Correction (ARC®), it eliminates room-induced resonances to yield tight, articulate, and thunderous bass down to 26Hz.
