I'm considering Buying These! Paradigm Founder 100f

[@bkrhino1]

I run the Paradigm Founder 100F’s, 90C and 40B’s. They are powered by the Anthem AVM70, MCA325 and MCA525. Subwoofers are the Perlisten D215S and D15S. Endgame for me. All Midnight Cherry. We all have our vision for our systems. Good luck in your search. If you ever get to the Chicago area look me up as I would love your feedback on my three systems.

@@bkrhino1 you're not too far from me. Could make a trip out of it

[@bkrhino1]

@@Kpaceguy- Let me know. I will arrange for a couple of systems you could experience.

I have Paradigm speakers since the early 2000’s. Love them!

[@eddietours3728]

great speakers i demo them too but went with the MA Platinum

[@iNeverHadMercy]

I am an Audophile....on a budget. $6000 for a pair of front mains is a lot of money. I have the POLK S50's. Compared these to the Klipsch level of mains and was blown away by the audio perfection the POLK speakers have and made the choice. Glad you stuck with your current speakers because there may have been some regret if you didn't

[@kkenmmac22]

The Martin Logan Motion XT F200 towers are around $2,200 per speaker. The Polk R700 towers are around $1,000 per speaker on Amazon. These are both great speakers and better than the Paradigms that were demoed in this video imo.

[@ubacow7109]

You should look into trying brands like Ascend Acoustics, Philharmonic, Arendal, & Marchaudio. They're more underground audiophile brands that are extremely high value and all measure insanely well. Arendal's 1528 series is like budget Perslisten. Ascend Acoustics also has a 30 day satisfaction guarantee & on Black Friday they have solid discounts every year. You wont find speakers that measure as well as well as Ascend Acoustics per dollar, they also post all their klippel measurements publicly.

[@tavarisjones551]

I was really considering the paradigm founder's. Ended up getting the Arendal 1723. Been very happy with the Arendal.

[@justkiddin1980]

Arendal has a better pricepoint and it better value for money..Paradigm sound expensive but they cheap out on parts…Really sad at that pricepoint

[@donjaun540]

Very cool 😎 Nice speakers but very expensive.

[@Laissez_Faire]

People are sleeping on Dynaudio. I got a set of R11 to possibly replace my Dynaudio C2 and not even close. The good thing is I put my Dynaudio in a dedicated music setup and I'll use the Kefs in the home theater.

[@psyphonyxaudio]

They are a good speaker for the right person. I was working there during their launch .. It was a fun time. I find these are very capable .. I find Paradigm .. neutral .. and I think KEF are more forward.

[@stevebaxter3300]

I was a monitor audio fan for 15yrs plus, then I heard the 100F! Wow, they certainly sound bigger and fill the room like I've never before! Only if you spend another 5/6k on speakers, so I felt they were punching above their weight! I've 100f, 90c, and 4 70lcr, with MRX1140, Mca325, and mca525. And I'm blow away!!! Now saving for AVM90, and two more subs! 😊

[@Kpaceguy]

That's a killer system

[@sheek1982]

Aesthetically pleasing!

[@kenyongough3327]

Great video very informative

@@kenyongough3327 I appreciate it!

[@jamescampbell3110]

What do you think about the SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacle speakers?

[@Kpaceguy]

@@jamescampbell3110 should have some svs stuff in for review very soon and will be able to tell you my exact thoughts!

[@chebrubin]

You need to vertical and horizontal bi-amp those amazing speakers.

[@renechristiansen645]

You need too here Arendal the new speakers

[@Kpaceguy]

@@renechristiansen645 You're absolutely correct

[@justkiddin1980]

Before buying i would like to direct you to the KZbin channel of GR research he took apart a couple of signature speakers and he wasn’t too pleased at what he found inside and how they measured…Might want to reconsider before blowing all that cash on sub par parts…

[@TheMojito100]

Suggest speakers suitable for hegel h300 integrated stereo amp please..

[@Spad3193]

Good now I won’t feel weird getting them!! lol

[@sammy10001]

Good stuff man. Beauty speakers. Also entertain martin logan electrostatic speakers.

[@Kpaceguy]

@sammy10001 not a bad idea. I really like the electrostatics

[@moneyzonetrader]

Plzmake a vdeo how to treat a bedroom with minimum acoustics

[@mattgiunt]

Wish you would take a look at the Philharmonic speaker line and visit the AVR forum thread to see what others say. I had the Polk LSIM line and sold it for the philharmonic HT Towers, center and Monitors. The wide dispersion of the Philharmonic is amazing and they are my endgame speakers for sure. I bought them after reading Audioholics review of them and talking to owners.

Which Polk towers did you have

[@candoslayer]

Kef Does look at the Kef Reference 4 Meta its just expensive though

[@wendellwendellb339]

That center channel is a toy compared to the Arendal 1528 center speaker!

[@Kpaceguy]

@@wendellwendellb339 You're right!

[@danemoreno88]

Yea and it cost 5k 😂😂😂

[@Pete.across.the.street]

Check out the GR Research video on Paradigm before you buy. Not the same model, but it would give me 2nd thoughts.

[@Kpaceguy]

Definitely will

[@Sly_Kaw]

What was it that gave you second thoughts?

[@Pete.across.the.street]

@Sly_Kaw that the model that this replaces was so bad that they wouldn't even upgrade it. Also the spikey treble. Wondering if it's still just a pretty box with sub standard parts comp to others at that price.

[@justkiddin1980]

Huh just said the same thing i was very very disappointed at the lack of quality for 5000!! Dollars..

[@AllAccessConstruction]

1528s Those are clean tho

[@paulcanniff4308]

@10:00 looks like he mouths "Arendal" and then a few seconds later he mouths "1723". I'll find out if I guessed right later on.

[@jp_booi7791]

😏😏🌝

[@Pete.across.the.street]

Those speakers aren't going to image very well slammed up against the wall like that. You have to move them out a few feet to see what they can do.

[@Kpaceguy]

@Pete.across.the.street right in my room I would have pulled them away and little bit. And I wouldn't of had them so wide.

[@Sly_Kaw]

They are downported so you could actually get away with placing them there

[@Pete.across.the.street]

@@Sly_Kaw it shouldn't matter where the port is located. You can get good imaging with front, side, and bottom ports. It's extremely unlikely you can get proper imaging with them that close to the wall.

[@kkenmmac22]

@@Sly_KawPlacing any speaker near a wall is not good, see below. Speaker boundary interference response (SBIR) is a common issue that occurs when speakers are placed near walls or other boundaries in a room. It's caused by the interaction between the direct sound from the speaker and the reflected sound from the boundary, which can lead to an uneven frequency response and reduced volume.

Listen, listen, listen carefully... Something is calling you... Listen... Perlisten.

I say keep the kef r11 not point of chasing your tail spend your money in some other part of your system for a upgrade. Those speakers are still joyful Belize!!!😊😊😊
