JBL Paragon
The JBL D44000 Paragon is an iconic one-piece stereo loudspeaker created by JBL that was introduced in 1957 and discontinued in 1983; its production run was the longest of any JBL speaker.〔 At its launch, the Paragon was the most expensive domestic loudspeaker on the market.〔
Designed by Arnold Wolf from a concept elaborated by Richard Ranger, it is almost nine feet long and requires over a hundred man hours of hand-finishing by a team of dedicated craftsmen.〔 Resembling less a conventional loudspeaker than an elegant sideboard,〔 it is a landmark product for the company that was sought after by the well-heeled and celebrities.〔 With estimated total production of about 1,000 units, it is highly sought after by collectors to this day.〔
== History ==
The Paragon is a horn-loaded, stereo speaker system housed within a single cabinet.〔 It is based on a diffusion principle developed by Richard Ranger as consultant to JBL. Launched in 1957, the Paragon is the world's earliest production stereo loudspeaker for home use,〔 and also the most expensive speaker at the time.〔 As the flagship JBL product, it cost $1,830 (£650) – equivalent to more than $15,000 in 2013 terms.〔 The "Paragon" is the product with the longest production run of all JBL loudspeakers.〔 It was produced continually until it was discontinued in 1983, when it was replaced by a product line named "Everest".〔〔
