There are rumors that Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin acquired three Paragons each-one for each left, center, and
right channels- with which they used to monitor there master tapes.
There were only about 1000 units produced in there 25 year life. Designed by Arnold Wolf and introduced in 1957 and continued
until 1983 by JBL.

Here is a great read on reproducing the D44000 Paragon in miniature,

Ha this guy is talking about a full size paragon being cost prohibitive to build but he's buying CNC machines to build the mini one...

pretty cool but it seems like he could have easily made a full size for the trouble he went to.
