Your videos just keep improving all the time. I so enjoy them. Thank you for giving me so much pleasure.

[@TLPCHC]

Thank you

[@nathanjones4039]

I just demo’d these at my local HiFi this morning. Sounded superb. Just the right amount of detail without being too fatiguing, very smooth top end and plenty of low end, was pleasantly surprised by the low end torque. Plan on pairing with my Yamaha A-S2200, how do you think they’ll sound together? Thanks. Great video!

[@TLPCHC]

Hi Nathan. The Yamaha / Paradigm combo might over excite the highs. Matbe a BIG Rotel, NAD C-388 / 298 combo or even McIntosh

[@mikewallace6923]

I bought a pair of these speakers in August they are amazing very tight bass cause the port is in the right place however I complemented them by the C90 center channel same bass response amazing and yes using the MCA 325 power amplifier really opens them up to their full potential being a Canadian they cost but great in price compared to some other towers finally you are the,first to review a,great product that Paradigm makes keep it up

[@TLPCHC]

Thanks - Yes, these speakers are superb

First video I saw covering the „Theory of civilized unboxing“. Nice.

Went to checkout TLP Lower hutt today, ended up having a quick 20-30s demo of the 80F from the friendly chap working there. Using a 'Lower end' Mcintosh tube amp and a NAD streamer. The finish and geometry is stunning, they were a dark brown gloss, I did not know the price and its amazing the price they come in at for the finish. The black shown here is almost a waste IMO, they looked boutique its that good.I played Muse thought contagion, they sounded huuuuge, imaging was OK not the most holographic speaker but it had so much meat on the bone! Bass was plentiful but wondered if it could have been more controlled, that or it had a mid bass hump. Mid range was judged really well, engaging and expressive with vocals but not over done or top try hard/forward. Treble is non fatiguing and smooth without any harshness. I'd love to hear the 100s as really want a true 3 way speaker as my next speaker! Looking at the feet though doesn't look like there's a screw mechanism so I can't use my isoacoustics gaia feet with the paradigms?

[@TLPCHC]

Thank you for taking the time to come and visit the WLG store. The feet can be replaced - but are pretty good, so maybe improvements can be found elsewhere(?)

[@avg0062]

I was wondering what speakers are better? The Paradigm Founder Series 100F or the Klipsch RF-7 iii? I think that the Founder series might be because one may be able the play them at high volume without sounding harsh.

[@TLPCHC]

The Paradigm 100f's and MUCH better

[@avg0062]

@@TLPCHC I agree that the Founder Series will be much better. Thank you.

[@michaelstone1503]

Do they sound at all like the Studio series? I miss my Studio 40 v3's. Regret selling them and looking for something similar. Thank you "Posties".

[@TLPCHC]

Hi Michael. The "Paradigm Sound" is there in the Founders, so you will love them, but it is a big lift in performance over the Studio range

[@chrissheldrick4073]

Hello I was looking at the paradigm 800f.. Are these really worth saving my money for and upgrading to the founder 80f.. Thanks again

[@TLPCHC]

O.M.G Yes - Save the money, sell a Kidney. The Founders are amazing

[@jeffreymilam8335]

Paradigm designers and craftsmen continue to set the bar for unequaled quality, and amazing sounding speakers. Thank you for your continued sharing of your establishments amazing product line up.

[@TLPCHC]

Thank you

[@chrissheldrick4073]

Hello there..is there much difference sound wise between this and the 80f..more room is around 4m by 4m...The 100f might be a bit to big..Thanks.

[@TLPCHC]

The 100's are better, but in a 4 x 4m room the 80's would be a way better fit.

[@josephcastro3294]

I have a pair of those Q acoustics 3030i bookshelves 6 ohms too.my question is is it alright to pair 6ohms to 8omhs speakers playing at the same time?

[@TLPCHC]

Yes - But you need to ensure your amp has plenty of current and wattage to control this kind of load.

[@HumblePeon2]

Are these direct competitor to KEF R 11. How does this compare to R series?

[@TLPCHC]

No - The Paradigm 100f's are way better! Like 85% better !

[@HumblePeon2]

@@TLPCHC wow that's interesting, I was not expecting such a discrepancy. Thank you for replying.

[@andyp9040]

Another great video well done. Have you considered wearing a mike im finding the video to be slightly echoed

[@TLPCHC]

We tried, but the mic kept clipping

[@andyp9040]

Cheers for the explanation. Hope you and the team are all well👍

[@stevelopez1109]

Is there big diference with focale aria 926?

[@TLPCHC]

I prefer the Paradigm 100f's. I find the bass easier to control and the highs less "in your face"

[@andrew1978411]

Just bought a pair .. I hope the Yamaha RX Z 11 receiver can power these no problem 😳

[@TLPCHC]

It will be ok, but consider an external power amp - like one from Rotel or Anthem

[@nathanjones4039]

Andrew I just listened to these this morning on demo at my HiFi shop. They’re fantastic and plan on buying these, I’m pairing them with a Yamaha A-S2200 and hope they be a good match?!

[@junior-OG]

@@TLPCHC what about a parasound a21+ ?

[@bizyz]

but how do they sound?

[@TLPCHC]

Superb. Dynamic, great bass, and detail without being bright.

[@Armanyadi.Jaafar]

Paradigm founder vs focal sopra/kanta... Which one better?

[@TLPCHC]

Paradigm. The Focal require too much power to get them to sound good

[@jedknutson8373]

@@TLPCHC sopra/kanta not even in the same atmosphere ....way higher level....

I was hoping you'd pull of the speaker sock in a more alluring fashion. 🤤 These are some sexy speakers.🥰

[@TLPCHC]

Yes - These speakers are STUNNING

Listening Post...?? WHEN?!?!

[@TLPCHC]

I am sorry that the intro of "unboxing channel" confused. For listening, I recommend you go into a retailer.

13:55 are those "plastic" feet ?

[@TLPCHC]

Yes, but extreemly rigid, braced and very strong

[@mikewallace6923]

@@TLPCHC they are diecast alloy feet

[@jedknutson8373]

why yes they are...

It seems others don't think the founders series sound better than their less expensive lines.

[@TLPCHC]

I disagree. I disagree vehemently. The Founders are Superb! I suggest you go have a listen
