Paradigm Founder 70LCR Piano Black LCR Speaker

Precision, Control and Dynamics - These are the pillars on which the Founder Series is built.

Founder is no ordinary loudspeaker. Every component, large and small, has been examined in minute detail. Every component has been carefully researched, designed, engineered, exclusively for Founder. New patent-pending technologies have been developed for the acoustic platform. The new cabinet platform is not only a stunning design, the unique shape and integrated structural bracing deliver acoustic performance that cannot be matched by traditional square boxes. With no element left unturned, Founder is much more than the sum of its parts.

During our exhaustive research, design and engineering process, we have carefully and thoughtfully examined how loudspeakers interact with their environment. The contemporary home environment presents design challenges that have become even more evident in the last decade. Stone, glass and wood have become the materials of choice, and open concepts dominate. The Founder design has evolved with this trend and is perfectly suited to deliver peak 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 straight out of the pages of Architectural Digest, you can be sure that Founder will sound as good as it looks.

Precision - When we say "precision" we mean the nuance, detail and realism that comes when a speaker "gets it right." The Founder Series incorporates many new advances in design, materials and engineering to deliver class-defining levels of performance.

Control - Cramming incredible technology into a speaker means nothing if the benefits don't reach your ears. By considering every component, our engineers ensured that you could hear the results of their hard work in any environment.

Dynamics - Detail, clarity, accuracy, fidelity: these are words often used to refer to sound quality, but what about quantity? Recreating a live performance requires dynamics—the ability to recreate quiet sounds, loud sounds, and everything in between. Let's take a look at how the Founder Series recreates the widest and most powerful dynamics.
