We loved the Founder 40B and the 100F so much we had to put the 80F on display as well! The 100F's have enough bass energy that they can overpower some rooms which is where this speaker comes in. It does all of the amazing things that the 100F can, just slightly scaled down. Not to mention they are a couple thousand less expensive which makes them great value as well.

You can't go wrong with any of the Paradigm Founder series, it's just a matter of which suits your needs best. We have found the big Yamaha integrated amplifiers to be a perfect match, the AS-1200 or AS-2200 would both drive this speaker like a dream. These speakers aren't difficult to drive but they will reward you if you feed them with a good quality amplifier.

Note pricing is listed in pairs not singles. We have the Walnut finish on display and will gladly order a pair in your choice of colour for you!
