Paradigm Founder 100F overview 

Sounds great 👍👍

Thank you again for your videos. You give great details on exactly what I find interesting and of importance. Ironically, the TWO floor speakers that I’ve strongly considered for months have been the Golden Ear Triton 2+ and similarly-priced Paradigm 100F. Loved BOTH, but decided to move away from amps-in speakers and the 100F just sounded so awesome. I bought L&R 100, maybe most due to the large, nice mid-range 6.5” which are GREAT. Could not find anything to complain about. QUESTION: did I make a mistake choosing these over the GE 2+ ? Also, I have a smallish “on/wall” Paradigm Studio Esprit center. Would you encourage me to buy that Founder 90C (big center) ? I would ♥️ to see you follow up with a REVIEW of that big-boy Founder 90C. I have heard good things. Last, my feedback to YOU: keep the 100F instead of the 120F. Forget the crazy-expensive price on that…only real difference w/ the 100F is the amp & built-in sub…a good separate subwoofer will work great and save you $1000.+ Thanks again. You have a GREAT site !

These are on my list of 'end game' speakers (I hate that term lol). That and Dyn evoke 50. You actually did go into a lot of detail despite saying you wouldn't which I think is good. There aren't actually a lot of reviews of these online or on YT so the more content the better! I listened to the 80fs, a sweet non harsh treble that is still resolved.. mid range ever so slightly forward but with very good clarity and honesty to the human voice. Soundstage was absolutely huge. Dynamics were huge also. I thought there was a large mid bass hump but may have been the room or amp contributing. Bass was prodigious I don't recall bass texture as my demo was 30s of one track! The LOOK of them though, I was like 'here we go he's got the boutique speakers out to wow me' the finish is incredible in person. Your money goes so far into the aesthetic, it's turned me into paradigm now.

I will not be content until I get a pair of these speakers.

What are you using for amplification to drive the 100F's?

First thanks for all your videos. You are probably the only one who has reviewed Goldenears so extensively. One thing in the video you say is that you preferred another subwoofer even for your powered speakers but don’t need one for the paradigm 100f - is that correct? So does it mean that you need a subwoofer for triton reference and one.r but not paradigm 100f? Do these extend more than the tritons?

Thanks for your review... Motivating me to make a choice and move forward with listening and maybe even purchasing these 100Fs one. I may have missed this but what do you have driving these?

What wall mounted speakers to you suggest for front and back? Also surrounds? With the 100f and 90c

Any chance of getting the Martin Logan xt100 to compare to these and as a Triton owner myself, I would be interested in your thoughts. I heard the f10 by Martin Logan wasn’t impressed. Now thinking upgrade like you!

Can you compare the sound of the 100F vs. the GoldenEar One.R...? I assume the One.R will have more bass - but other than that...? Thanks!

Do you think the paradigm 100f will play well with the parasound jc5? thank you

@audiOlympian which sound better Golden ear, Treyton, reference towers, or the paradigm founders?

Did you ever test out the founders in the theater?

Your right they sound amazing! 😎👍 I just got the rhythmic E22 Dual 12" driver sub sealed audiophile sub with 800WRMS amplifier. It sounds good but it’s too musical for me I’m going to return them but if you’re interested let me know if you want it. I have one week let on my trial. Lol

Are you selling the 80f or were they on loan? Thanks

Compared yo the triton golden erea what would you prefer?

what is artist and name of the last song 15:02 just curious?

I just got the 100f and try just 2 channel without my two subs and they were not where close to that for bass. How are you getting that much bass out of them? They are power with the anthem 325 and 1140. ARC set them at 25hzs without my subs.

I have the upgrade itch . Are the 100f a big improvement over the Studio 60v5?

I hope you can answer my question and I really appreciate your knowledge with the video. Do you think the treble lacks in sound? Thanks I just ordered a pair yesterday and it’s on my mind!!!

Wow! The name of the first track? Nice review!

How much power are you putting into the speakers?

I'm on the fence between the 80'and 100's. Loved how open the 100s sounded. 100's felt like you were at a large venue, while the 80's felt more like the singer was right in front. Little concerned the 100's will be too large and boomy for my room. I'd hate to get the 80's and wish I'd gotten the 100's all along..lol. Do run my current towers crossed over at 80hz with 2 subs...so bass is not an issue

I'm a huge Paradigm fanboy so its only natural I dig these. So beautiful. There are a lot of great speakers on the market though I don't see Paradigms getting much praise.

Very strange that the color differences are so pronounced...

wow my wall are shaking due to the fact I have a 12 inch subwoofer on my PC. lol (it's for gun's and explosions)

I just don't do towers anymore since atmos.

I hate when people refer to 3 feet tall speakers as towers. What are 6 feet tall speakers?

What a load of waffle dude ...
