Description The Paradigm Founder Series 40B is no ordinary loudspeaker. Every component was scrutinized down to the tiniest detail, thoroughly researched, designed, and engineered exclusively for Founders. New patented technologies were developed for the acoustic platform. The unique shape of a new cabinet platform and integrated structural bracing delivers acoustic performance that cannot be matched by traditional square boxes. By leaving no element unaddressed, the Founder’s series is so much more than the sum of its parts. Through an exhaustive research, design, and engineering process, Paradigm looked closely and carefully at how speakers interact with their environment. The contemporary home interior presents design challenges that have become even more prominent over the last decade. Stone, glass, and wood have become the 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 from the pages of Architectural Digest, you can be sure Founder will sound as good as they look.
