Paradigm Founder 100F walnut (pack of 2)

Founder is no ordinary speaker. Every component, large or small, has been scrutinized in the finest detail. Each part has been meticulously studied, designed and manufactured exclusively for Founder’s. 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 bracing deliver acoustic performance that cannot be matched by traditional square boxes. By leaving no element unaddressed, Founder’s is far more than the sum of its parts. During the exhaustive research, design and engineering process, Paradigm closely and carefully examined how speakers interact with their environment. The contemporary home interior presents design challenges that have become even more important over the past decade. Stone, glass and wood have become materials of choice and open concepts dominate. Founder’s design has evolved with this trend and is perfectly suited to deliver its maximum performance in rooms that would challenge traditionally designed speakers. Whether you enjoy movies and music in a more traditional listening space, or your home is pulled from the pages of Architectural Digest, you can be sure Founder will sound as good as it looks.
