Paradigm Founder 100F

Awesome set of speakers quality of fit and finish is perfect and they sound fabulous I have had infinity polk audio and several other brands and none of them compare I am pushing them with parasound halo a21 + they are extremely clean and pure don't let size fool you they will play extremely well at all volume levels they sound the same played low or loud if you are in market DONT pass these up you will NOT be disappointed they have done an excellent job in every way kudos to Paradigm

I recently traded my Monitor SE 8000Fs for a pair of walnut Founder 100F hoping for at least a decent improvement in sound (since my electronics would stay the same) but what i got instead was beyond anything I could have hoped for...I mean OMG! For the first time in all these years of switching from one set of speakers to another, from one brand to another, I might have found what I was looking for (within my budget, of course). At the risk of using a phrase that has probably become a cliche in the audio world, these speakers simply disappear in my room. The way they image is mesmerizing, with vocals floating right between the speakers but at the same time reaching out towards my listening position...it's fantastic! I mean I hear nuances in Adele's voice on her latest album, for instance, that I didn't even know were part of the recording...it's so satisfying. And that low end, while a little dampened in my opinion, has so much weight to it that it never let me wanting of more bass; it's tight, controlled and very detailed. And they can get really loud. I, personally, don't like to listen to music loud, but these speakers are so composed even at very high volumes that I've cranked it up a lot more often then I used to. And if you happen to have an Anthem receiver and run ARC Genesis on these speakers you will be treated with a sound that punches way above their price tag. Either way, with or without the help of ARC, they are phenomenal !!! I'm not gonna pretend I know more about how people at Paradigm managed to achieve the results they did (apart from what's explained on their website) but I would like to thank them for a wonderful product that I'm confident will provide me with many years of audio bliss!
