Paradigm Founder 40b
I previously reviewed the massive Founder 120h.
That was nothing short of a religious experience to me. Some of the best speakers I’ve ever heard. A wall of sonic joy. When I got the chance to hear these bookshelf variations. My thought was that these would be the 120Hs without the bass bins. A bright, sterile clinical sound lacking bass. And I couldn’t have been more wrong. These are on track to be my bookshelf speakers of the year.
Paradigm speakers are made in Canada.
The Founder Series is completely designed, engineered, and built at our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility just outside of Toronto, Canada. I got a chance to visit their facility alongside Carlo from Secrets of Home Theater. That video will be up soon once I can get through all of the footage. These two-way, rear-ported speakers feature a whole host of technology. Up top, they feature an Aluminum, Magnesium, and Ceramic AL-MAC™ High-Frequency Driver. It's a 1" dome with an Oblate Spherical Waveguide and a Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA™) Lens. For mids, you get a 6"AL-MAG™ Driver. With a Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA™) Lens, Advanced SHOCK-MOUNT™ Isolation Mounting System, and a 2” high-temp multi-layered voice coil with ventilated Apical™ former. The drivers crossover at 1.6kHz. That acoustis lens, that covers the tweeter and midrange is to allow for more coherence. I also think they looks cool.
The Founder Series midrange and bass drivers are mechanically decoupled from the front baffle by our Advanced SHOCK-MOUNT™ Isolation Mounting System. This prevents any transfer of vibration from the driver to the cabinet, and from the cabinet to the driver. By eliminating resonance, the driver is free to render sound purely and efficiently with no audible distortion and maximum clarity. The cabinet features Cascade-Fusion Bracing for increased rigidity and to break up standing low-frequency waves. Sooo tighter bass and clarity.
