Designed, engineered, and manufactured in Canada, this 5-driver, 3-way floorstanding loudspeaker features an AL-MAC™ Aluminum-Magnesium-Ceramic tweeter with an Oblate Spherical Waveguide (OSW™), an AL-MAG™ midrange with a Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA™) lens, and three 7-inch CARBON-X™ bass drivers mounted using Paradigm's Advanced Shock-Mount System (SHOCK-MOUNT™). Wrapped in a rich Walnut wood veneer, it delivers staggering dynamic scale, visceral low-frequency slam, and uncolored vocal purity.
Key Features & Innovations
1-inch AL-MAC™ High-Frequency Tweeter with OSW™ Waveguide — the Paradigm Founder 100F Floorstanding Speakers in Walnut (each) utilize a ceramic-coated aluminum-magnesium dome tweeter coupled with an Oblate Spherical Waveguide for pinpoint spatial focus and wide off-axis response.
6-inch AL-MAG™ Midrange Driver with PPA™ Lens — ultra-light aluminum-magnesium driver equipped with a patented Perforated Phase-Aligning lens that smooths output and prevents out-of-phase frequencies from coloring vocals.
Triple 7-inch CARBON-X™ Unibody Bass Drivers — high-excursion carbon-fiber cone woofers driven by Active Ridge Technology (ART™) surrounds to produce thunderous, ultra-low-distortion bass output down to 36Hz.
Advanced SHOCK-MOUNT™ Decoupling Hardware — drivers and feet are mechanically isolated from the cabinet using elastomeric shock mounts to eliminate energy transfer and mechanical cabinet coloration.
Are these speakers sold individually or as a pair?
The Paradigm Founder 100F Floorstanding Speakers in Walnut (each) are priced and sold individually. To build a stereo pair, please purchase a quantity of two (2).
What size amplifier is recommended for the Founder 100F?
Paradigm recommends an amplifier with an output power rating between 15 and 350 Watts per channel to fully maximize dynamic headroom and bass authority.
What does ART™ (Active Ridge Technology) do?
Paradigm's patented ART™ surround is over-molded directly onto the woofer cone, allowing greater driver excursion for a 3dB gain in output and a 50% reduction in distortion compared to standard surrounds.
Where are the Paradigm Founder Series speakers manufactured?
The Founder 100F is designed, engineered, and precision-manufactured at Paradigm's state-of-the-art facility in Toronto, Canada.
