We haven’t had the chance to hear the JBL Paragon in person, but from what we gather, the speaker (that looks like furniture) has a very distinctive sound “signature” due to its single cabinet curved refraction design. The Paragon is capable of filling up a room in a uniquely powerful way that could be somewhat be compared (not in sound, but effect) to how Klipschorns fill out a room unlike any other speaker. Interesting to note, the sound is supposedly smoother the further away you are from the speaker and can sound a bit strange at close distances.
