Overview

With nearly all the technologies found in the larger models, the 40B bookshelf is the ideal way to experience the magic of the Founder Series in a minimal footprint.

Every component, large and small, has been scrutinized down to the finest detail. Each part has been carefully researched, designed, and manufactured exclusively for Founder. New patented technologies have been developed for the acoustic platform. The new cabinet platform is not just a stunning design, its unique shape and integrated structural cross-bracing deliver acoustic performance that cannot be matched by traditional square boxes.

Through an exhaustive process of research, design, and engineering, Paradigm closely and carefully examined how speakers interact with their environment. The interior of a contemporary home presents design challenges that have become even more important over the last decade. Stone, glass, and wood have become the materials of choice and open concepts dominate. The design of the Founder Series has evolved with this trend and is perfectly suited to deliver its maximum performance in rooms that would challenge traditionally designed speakers.

Advanced Shock-Mount System

The midrange and bass drivers in the Founder Series are mechanically decoupled from the front baffle by an advanced SHOCK-MOUNT isolation mounting system. This special mounting hardware uses an elastomeric suspension to prevent any vibration transfer from the driver to the cabinet and from the cabinet to the driver. By eliminating resonance, the driver is free to reproduce sound purely and efficiently without audible distortion and with maximum clarity.

After listening to the Paradigm Founder 4b speakers driven by the Lavardin ISX Reference for several days, I can say they are truly well-balanced and sound great! The pairing with the amplifier is absolutely perfect!

Après avoir écouté plusieurs jours les enceintes Paradigm Founder 4b pilotées par le Lavardin ISX Référence, je peux dire qu'elles sont vraiment très équilibrées et sonnent bien ! Le couplage avec l'amplificateur est vraiment parfait !
