The 100F takes the design of the 80F to the next level. Paradigm added more bass drivers, larger woofers, and a dedicated mid-range to a cabinet that is only slightly larger than the smallest 80F. More bass, improved dynamics, and increased clarity and realism. For those desiring an even better experience, the 100F is the perfect choice.
Aluminum Magnesium (AL-MAG™) Mid-range Driver
Similar to the goals we had in mind when developing the AL-MAC tweeter, AL-MAG was conceived to bring the same elevated level of performance to the area where our ears are the most sensitive, the mid-range. If you have ever read a speaker review, the mid-range typically gets a lot of attention, and rightly so. By nature, human hearing places an emphasis on things like voices so that we know when we’re interacting with someone familiar. Think about how instantly recognizable your favorite recording artist or actor’s voice sounds. Paradigm’s goal here was to have the mid-range driver sound as realistic as possible. After all, isn’t that why you have a nice audio system? To make it sound like you’re there? With AL-MAG technology, Founder series comes another step closer.
Ultra-High-Excursion CARBON-X Unibody Bass Driver
The foundation of our listening begins with the lowest frequencies. In pursuit of ultimate clarity, Paradigm developed new technology; high performance bass drivers for use in the larger floorstanding models of the Founder series. These drivers use a single-piece cone construction for added strength, especially at higher volumes, with the lowest possible mass to ensure every detail can be heard clearly. Combine this with Paradigm’s signature ART Surround, and Shock-Mount technologies and you get a bass driver that’s both detailed and powerful, as it should be.
Oblate Spherical Waveguide (OSW™)
The rooms where we live and listen have changed dramatically over the years. And while home interiors have evolved; many speaker technologies have not kept pace. Paradigm believe that speakers should be a natural extension of your room’s look and feel, while also providing a noticeable and real-world performance gain. Enter the Oblate Spherical Waveguide (OSW™) tweeter waveguide, only from Paradigm. The OSW™ helps the Founder series’ loudspeakers cope with the challenge presented by modern-day environments, which are larger, more open, and full of reflective surfaces. OSW™ technology utilizes a precise, natural geometry to help focus the tweeter output where it matters, the listening area. As you move to the sides of the listening area, tweeter output gradually decreases, avoiding performance-robbing room reflections. Decreased output at the periphery of the room means that sound will not disrupt others that may be in earshot but wish to focus their attention elsewhere. Coupled with a larger, more powerful magnet/motor structure with greater efficiency and lower distortion, OSW™ gives you better sound where you want it, and less distracting sound where you don’t. Real solutions for real life.
Perforated Phase-Aligning (PPA™) Lens
Perforated Phase Aligning (PPA™) Lens technology is a perfect example of form meeting function. Not only are the crafted metal parts beautiful to look at, but they protect the driver cone and provide a substantial performance benefit. For added levels of realism, the PPA™ lens works to ensure that all frequencies arrive at the listener’s ears at the same time. This means that everything sounds more realistic from the lowest bass, up to the most delicate details. The Founder series’ floorstanding models also receive this treatment on their mid-range drivers helping to project the sound more predictably at a distance. That makes them ideal for listening from farther away without losing sound quality and detail to the room.

with a good amplifier (500wpc) is worth take the 100f or the 120h?
I prefer the ELAC Vela 409s.
Good. It is why we stock both.
😃🇨🇦👍🏻
I think if I owned or worked in a hi-fi shop then I would probably never leave when it's closed especially if I had access to equipment like this. 🤔😀
Yes, some nights it is a task to turn things off and head home
Beautiful! Would love to step up to these one day from my Premier 700fs..
Yes - You will love the upgrade when you do it
I bet they are awesome, but here in Europe they are very expensive, even for hifi enthusiasts. Would love if you cold do a similar video with different price ranges 🙂
They are not cheap in New Zealand either.... but Worth every cent!
