Did you skip comparing it to KEF R Meta series because you got plans to review R6 Meta in near future. Or did you just forget about R Meta line. If it skipped your mind please can you sum it up of how they compare.
@@KristiWright R11 Meta how do these compare to that. Like Imaging and Sound-stage. Dynamics I guess be bit better on R11 Meta. But how about clarity and other aspects.
The R11 is a tower speaker and is not comparable. We have not heard the R6. We may or may not review that speaker in the future but nothing is currently on the calendar.@@KING_DRANZER
I'm 52 and have gone through a ridiculous amount of speakers in my time. I'm settled on the Paradifgm Founder 100's (Midnight Cherry). They look classy and sound delightful! I wasn't sold on them at first but they emerged to be glorious! Cheers Andrew - You're the champ!
I’m a professional motion picture camera operator and steadicam operator (Netflix streaming, FF, etc) in Canada and I LOVE the smooth style and top-shelf technical proficiency (audio and video) of your reviews! Thank you for finally getting the great Canadian Paradigm’s back into your reviews. These Founders are on my wish list for when the strike has ended and we’re all back to work.
I recently auditioned a pair of Paradigm Founders 100F floor standers. It was the best audition experience I have ever had. Paradigm vocals are always good but the discriminations revealed by those three, seven inch, woofers were the best I have heard on my test CD. I would not need a subwoofer with these. (Hard to believe that so many speakers do not cover up their screw heads-Paradigm often does that.)
I really appreciate Andrew and Kristy's real world reviews. The kind of reviews that provide what most are looking for. Not boring 15 minute intros about numbers, before they actually reveal what's really important (how do they sound!?).
I sold Paradigm, Klipsh and Boston Accustics speakers from 1999 to 2012. I always preferred the Paradigm speakers because they sounded more balanced and detailed to me, and I loved how they distributed the sound throughout the room. I like Paradigm's story and what they set out to achieve with their purpose. Thank you, Andrew, for this review. I've been waiting for a Paradigm review for a while.
I’m genuinely happy that Paradigm finally saw the value of you guys doing a review. So, so many channels nowadays do a SPONSORED PRODUCT SHOWCASE and then call it a review, it’s not even funny anymore. Awesome review you guys did! I hope they send you the towers too at some point. Also, that intro was A-MA-ZING! Bravo! 🎉
Love, love, love❤ Kristi's tell it like it is, no sugar coating outlook. She is the ultimate buyer wise council as it refers to value and aestetics for money. I own Paradigm Persona 3f, which retail for $12k, but my floor demo model was $6,500. This ol grandpa would make you proud. Thank you both for always delivering excellence.
I’ve been enjoying the Paradigm Founder 100F for a couple of years. They are the sweet spot in the Founder line-up. Glad your reviewing them. One of the best Canadian made speakers.
Love seeing Paradigm get some love. One of my earliest hi-fi wow moments was listening to a pair of Studio 100’s(v4 I believe) driven by a Marantz SR-18(some of the best looking receivers ever imho). The local shop let my teenage self enjoy an entire Eagles live dvd And it was magic to my ears. I just picked up a pristine set of Gloss Black Studio 20v5’s that I mate with an Anthem STR Preamp and MCA225v2. Nice speakers that have wonderful synergy with gear from their sister company. Andrew, your review of these speakers way back when helped inform my decision to grab beauties for $500!
FINALLY!!!! After you told me that Paradigm just ignored you, I took it upon myself to send a stern email to their marketing team about this. I am a proud and loyal Paradigm owner and adore my speakers... wish I could get some of their top of the line... but I digress. Anyway, I sang your praises and told them to quick fucking around and let you review their stuff. So glad my powerful influence finally worked. (cough, cough).
Finally! So glad you were able to get Paradigm on the channel. The Founder series are some of the most beautiful speakers I’ve ever seen. And possibly my favorite sound. Loving the new branding!
I have had a set of Paradigm Prestige series speakers for about 5 years now, love them but wasn’t sure what your thoughts were about the brand. I think the build quality is impeccable, and to me my setup has great imaging and reproduction of pretty much anything I listen to. Would live to see you do a review of their prestige series of floor standing speakers. Love your channel.
So glad you finally reviewed this line from Paradigm. The first time I heard this line was the 100F towers and I was honestly blown away but the revealing nature of this series.
Know it's been commented on many times, but the attention to decor is superb. It bespokes of a space to be inspired by, inviting personal tweaks, while being a template to work from. Even makes that Marantz Cinema 40 look enticing in that hue❤🎶.And great representation for Samsung's "The Frame" Flat Panels!
Founder 120H is one of the best sounding speakers I have ever heared. 120H or Totem Tribe Tower (totally different but oh so good) are my top 2 dream speakers right how.
Great to see you doing a Paradigm review. I own a full series of the Prestige line and it was one of my most rewarding purchases. I have to agree with you that owning Paradigm is much more than just the sound. The build quality and appearance is just phenomenal, and you nailed it when you spoke about having that pride of ownership. I consistently comment on Paradigm's ability to make an impression on people who aren't really into audio or home theater as a rule, but they always know they are seeing and hearing something special.
Great to finally see paradigm making its way onto the channel. I always thought they were a great speaker company but it is very hard to find decent reviews of them. Probably why I have Sonus Fabers instead.
When companies make their products hard for people to hear them, buy them or learn about them, no doubt those decisions impact the customer's buying decisions. All that aside, Sonus Faber makes a fantastic speaker. Which ones did you end up going with?
Paradigm!!!!??? I’d forgotten about the brand, glad you two put them back on my radar. These speakers look awesome! Would love to see you try out their Persona line.
Hi folks. Thank you for this great review. I'm a Canadian and have been a Paradigm fan for 30 years or more. I own their Studio 100 Version 2 from 2000. They've treated me well this entire time and I can't justify replacing them for the amount I'd need to spend to earn a noticeable improvement in sound. Also, Paradigm are made in Canada (and were jointly made in the US for a time. Are they still?). Spending the money we do, I find it important to shop local if possible. I greatly enjoyed this review. Thanks again.
I’m getting the 90C and 120Hs next week. Where do you have your center channel placed. I’m afraid I don’t have enough height room between tv and media console. Might have to place inside the console (BDI 8179) on the top shelve. This will lower the speaker by about 8” not to mention the tweeter might be blocked in the area where the two doors meet.
@@Fatewillgivein man, unfortunately I’m a member of the ‘TV too high’ community 🤣 My setup is in our living room with the TV above the fireplace and my 90c is on the mantle just under the TV. Definitely not ideal but it’s what I have to work with for the time being.
❤ Love Paradigm as a company and they are my tower + sub system for records and music. I like the idea of using "bookshelf" speakers as centers if possible to keep the front system symetrical. Thank you for reviewing the Founder and I do hope to see more setups from the channel.
Wow! This is such a high quality production. It looks really professional, and I love the background "soundtrack". And the presentation is also excellent. Extremely well done.
Paradigm - currently own the 8000 SE and 2000 SE (way down market from Founders) as a 3.0 system in my living room. Before buying I messaged Paradigm a couple of times to push them to get RUclips reviews of their product done. Their canned response back then was to push you to written reviews that were clearly sponsored. I saw Gene do a review of the 8000’s and pulled the trigger letting them know that the review helped make the decision. Nice to see them building a relationship and sending you guys product you ask for. The house sound seems a touch bright, but I enjoy it. Great review and love the new intro. Have a great Sunday.
I just came across a home theater setup that was the older v2 Paradigm Signature series (S8 towers and C5 center) and came across a written review by none other than Andrew Robinson from that many years ago! I was surprised to say the least, but completely agree with the impression that Paradigms leave, especially about the build and material quality. Glad to see Paradigm in the mix here once again!
Great review! Nice to see some Founder series on here. I really like the aesthetics of the new house and room. You two put so much effort into it, and it is a beautiful stage to see all of the different audio equipment you're reviewing. I have the 120H and 90C myself, and was a bit curious as to why the frequency response seemed to end at 17k when it's the same tweeter as the 90C, which goes up to 23k. Looks as though you may have mentioned the off-axis response.
curious what you use for surround speakers - I recently a/b tested the 800Fs to 100Fs (800Fs sounded great but the 100Fs were better in everyway) and also demo'd the 100Fs with the 90C - very impressive.
I have a soft spot for paradigm. I own paradigm, the factory is local to me, Alana Alty is an acquaintance of mine and she was the lead designer of the signature series. So I guess I might be a bit of a fan boy, but nice to see you finally got to review something from them.
My last review was of the Signature S8 towers which I bought after the review (as well as the S2 bookshelf speakers). I am a total fan of the brand, which is why I've been so confused as to why it's been so long since our last review!
I have the 70LCR and the 40B, they are amazing speakers. My 40B image and sound stage better than anything I demoed. I had Monitor audio silver, Dyn Audio Evoke 20. and the Ascend Acoustic Seirra 2ex, all at the same time. The 40b in stereo are magnificent with imaging and sound stage. they measured really well, even better than the sierra 2ex. Sierra to EX is a great speaker, but the REEL ribbon tweeter was doing something strange in my listening space. I only had 30days to try them so I sent them back and kept the 40B over the rest. I totally agree that the 70LCR is a bit soft in dialog at low volume, but the 40b is fantastic at any volume.
Would you expect the same of the Prestige 15B, which is discontinued but many seem to rave about? I love the high sensitivity, so these bookshelves are on my short list.
Great review! Nice to see the evaluation of a Canadian made speaker. Very glad Andrew recognized that manufacturing in North America, in this case my home country, Canada is more expensive, but you make up for it in quality control and company ownership.
I had the Paradigm LCR 450's since the late 90's and they still play fantastic. Paradigm is a great product . If I ever need to replace these, the founders will be first on the list.
So I need you to compare these to Arendal Monitors. They are gorgeous and I cant believe they havent shown these off more could not hit that 👍 fast enough.
Enjoyed the review, I'm a big fan and subscriber, glad you were able to get your hands on the Founder series. I have owned the 120H and C90 in Midnight Cherry and have never looked back. Truthfully, they are endgame for me. Would hope sometime in the future you get to experience and review the 120H's as they are hybrid and may check off some of the boxes you were stating on the 70"s,,,, space and bass! I recently added the Paradigm XR13 sub also in Midnight Cherry, super dense and performance above and beyond. I'm in my 50's and it was a journey to reach this point for me as I am a regular hard-working person as most of us are, but if you want amazing craftsmanship, performance, and pieces of furniture that look beautiful in any environment you won't go wrong. I retained my Klipsch 600M's ,2 pair as side and rear surrounds, with 2 pair 500S for Atmos with a Velodyne Digital sub and a Klipsch 120SW near field. As I stated most audiophiles, videophiles and enthusiasts will be more than happy and have no regrets with the Founder series or any other line in Paradigm sphere. Keep doing what you're doing, looking forward to the next review.
I’m getting the 90C and 120H next week. Tv mounted on wall and media console (BDI 8179) below TV. I don’t think I have enough height room (8”) to place the center speaker on top of console. My only option is to place the 90C inside the console on top shelve. This will result in lowering the center speaker 8” (vs being placed on top of console) and the tweeter would be blocked in the area where the two middle doors meet. Where do you have your center speaker placed?
Personally, I never was to much for LCR all around as bed layer speakers. In my reality, I have a big living room that I use for music and movies. Complete layout was made as speakers and TV first, so it’s great for enjoying music and movies. But I do not have another system for music, so I am still a fan of having great audio speakers as front and matching center and surrounds. In my case I use B&W 600 series for 5 speakers, bed layer and 2 B&W subs. Polk SE10 are used as 4 height channels. Maybe I am wrong, but I find this best for my house and options I have. I do not have a room to have separate audio system and therefore I like big floorstanders as front speakers.
My wonderful better half wife and I just finished this vid and I'll say it again. We relate to you quite a bit. We are moving from a condo to a nice small house and I'm trying to convince my wife to changing our samsung soundbar q950a system to a home theater and this vid is working so I thank you. She absolutely likes the end on the comparison on who did better. Lol. We have a budget of 2500 dollars so this really helped. I am a bass guy so I was looking at klipsh full packages including a denon receiver with dual subs for 2 thousand. Not sure if it comes with all the wires though so I'll have look again into that. Anyways a great shout out to the 2 of you from us Jim and Melanie of Connecticut. Thank you very much.
Thanks for reviewing some Paradigms, Andrew & Kristi! Haven’t heard anything from them in quite a while. I still have a pair of Paradigm Active 20’s in one of our bedrooms - one of my first sets of speakers that I was TRULY proud of owning. When they first came out, I was absolutely amazed by their clarity and imaging capability - heard a demo of DMB’s “So Much to Say” off their “Crash” album and was just blown away by what those little speakers could do (including some surprisingly solid bass for rather small speakers)
OMG! A Canadian 🇨🇦 link in your discretions!!! Finally. Let me say, many times, as a Canadian Amazon power shopper I have continued to be frustrated by your American only links which have in all honesty stopped any and all shopping through your links. Until now! Want to increase your commissions? Well, you know the answer now. Thanks. 👍🏻
Watching your review on my new A95K was delightful, and listening to my surrounds play your background music was enlightening. Not sure if the Sony STR-AZ5000ES 360SSM had something to do with the surrounds playing a little bit louder than I would prefer (my Klipsch levels are set with my old Radio Schack DB meter). Overall very nice presentation, awesome graphics and great sound/music effects! Bravo. Your channel is the best prepared content in the RUclips world!
That's the best speaker layout for a center channel. When they start using multiple mids it starts logging. I believe a good speaker will sound good for hi fi and home theater
I didn't know you directed April Showers. I was part of the test audience in Omaha and I really liked it. I remember reading something about how you needed to blur some of the outdoors back ground in post because the digital camera kept everything in focus no matter the distance. I thought this added to the confusion and chaos in the scene where Tom Arnold's character is trying to determine what's going on and account for his students
Thank you for your awesome review of my all time go to brand of speakers since the mid 80's ! Canadian made near Toronto and not far from my home town so I have had the pleasure of touring thier factory and it is amazing to say the least everything from R&D to finished products is done in house. Paradigm is on the cutting edge and is dollar for dollar one of the best!
Love the new intro 🔥 I checked out the 120H when I was in the market a couple years ago, but $8k was too much for me. Very happy with my JBL HDI 3800’s now that they are fully broken in 🔊🔊🔊
Happy Sunday AM Andrew/Kristi, great video and THANK YOU. I watch all your reviews. Quick Q: From other comments you've made in videos, I know you have installed some pretty safe electrical wiring in your home but do you still use any power conditioners/cleaners/voltage regulators like Furman products or Panamax (i.e. the M5400 or M1500?) I was wondering if you take the extra precautions to protect your high end gear by plugging any of your amps/equipment through any of these babies...Have a good rest of the weekend and totally love the new pacing of videos that work for you and your lifestyle! 🤓
We do not use any so-called high end or hifi power products. I use hospital/industrial grade strips when need be as well as battery backups for some components which we've discussed in past videos.
So first off...... Yay! My favorite reviewers finally reviewed my favorite brand! Next, great overall review, but unfortunately you quoted the off axis frequency response which tops out at 17k, but on axis these are rated up to 23k +/- 2dB, of course it didn't impact the bass number. Hopefully, that doesn't scare anyone off from these great speakers. Finally, Andrew, I am curious on more of your thoughts related to a specific comment you made. You basically said that when you switched between stereo and surround about the only change that you noticed was dialog localizing more to below the screen. This was specifically tied to the horizontal vs vertical placement of the speaker. However, this is exactly my experience with Paradigms with a center, or with phantom center. While I feel Paradigm centers are among the best made, I also find that Paradigms have such a good center image that my experience is better overall when I employ phantom center as the dialog is lifted closer to the center of the screen. Sound quality seems virtually unchanged to my ears, but I prefer the location of that sound better with phantom. Of course, when I suggest this in the Paradigm Facebook Group many people shoot it down aggressively (even some that readily admit they have never even tried it). What are your thoughts? If you were going to live with these 70 LCRs, do you think they are better with all 3 letters, or does adding the C actually slightly degrade the experience due to the vertical drop in the dialog further from the faces on the screen?
Hi to both of you from Suzy and I (Alex). The new intro gets a big "YES" from us - not that you NEED a "yes" from us, both nevertheless, there it is (😂)! Much love from the UK 😁💛😁
Hmm, wonder why that is. The Atom's are great speakers, so I'm not doubting you, but not sure why other, equally good speakers, would sound THAT much worse? Thanks for watching!
@@andrewrobinsonreviews good point, they dont sound that much worse, as the expectation of the size of the other speakers which need alot of power to run, but the little Atoms with moderate power just blow me away each time I spin them up , not like Kef Meta 2 with monoblocks obviously but still grab my attention. keep the reviews coming!!!!
V1? You're going waaay back. I've never owned the Atoms but they sure were something else. Owned the Titans though, next size up in that line. Some of my old Audio mags from 20-30 years ago have reviews of Paradigm. Reviewers always seemed to love them. I've lived with the Studio 100 v2 for over 20 years and will never upgrade.
In the early 2000s I sold B&W, Paradigm, and Wharfdale speakers, with Marantz, NAD, and Classe components. Paradigm has always been a tad tweeter heavy.
I appreciate the vocabulary used in all your reviews. Most speaker review’ers every other word use so many Sommelier style words…. that it basically starts sounding like a wine enthusiast review 🙄Instead of speakers. Thanks guys!
Gota say I've enjoyed a ton of your videos and greatly appreciate your approach to reviews. I'm a Paradigm fan and have been for a long time. Love seeing this speaker reviewed here! I'm so, SO close to revamping my current theater setup with the founder series. Also just added two XR11 subs. Great video and thanks!
I've been enjoying the Paradigm Premiere setup in my Theater. My last theater had B&W 683s with a HTM6 center and I find the Paradigms much better for voice intelligibility. Could be the HTM6's less than ideal MTM arrangement vs the Paradigm 600C much better woofers and stacked mid and tweeter, but could also be the room, hard to say. Either way I really enjoyed my B&Ws but I consider the Paradigms an upgrade. YMMV
Seeing as Paradigm and Anthem go hand in hand, any chance you will have the opportunity to audition them with one of the integrated or AV receivers by Anthem? It is a magical combination, and I feel more on the analytical side over the warmth of Marantz products. You may find that the midrange and high frequencies open up to another level, the bass all be it rolled off in nature of the LCR’s. Should have a bit more control and authority. Anyhow, another great speaker and manufacturer that delivers a quality product for the investment. Great job!
Great review once again guys. The new graph showing the speaker response and the subtle music in the background during this review was very nice. Keep up the great work!
Love the new intro, background music was not my cup of tea. Paradigm, one of those legendary brands and a very balanced and fair review, glad that the quality's still there. Also would be interesting to hear your take on the Arendal Sound 1723 THX line of monitors, pretty please... 😉
Excellent advice and review recommendations. Breath of fresh air. LCR speakers are truly the way go. Movie theaters were setup that way. It was nice to see some clips from your movie. Way to go.
Andrew and Kristi..I see you with your new crecesnt fresh new intro and logo....sweet!! Though I thoroughly not into home theater systems...I am starting to be convinced to check into em more and more (by you guys) as I want more speakers in my set up, but regular smegular decs dont have enough taps to power them all. A home theatre unit may be the way forward. And long live the 'Robinson Pause"!!
Great to see a review of some Paradigm speakers. About 25 years ago I bought a home in theater set of speakers consisting of a pair of 9seMK3 towers cc 150 center and a pair of ADP 100 dipole surrounds. The center channel had to have the woofers re-foamed but the rest still original. I believe you reviewed the monitor se atom speakers a couple years ago at the beginning of the pandemic which you recommended due to their very low price and of course performance at that price. I picked them up and started started back in the hobby now retired with some time to enjoy the gear. Love to see more of their stuff reviewed as it’s not commonly done by anyone I follow. I believe I heard you mention in one other episode that Paradigm had mentioned they weren’t sending out people out products to review. Please keep up the great work both you and Kristi, hope I spelled her, name right sorry if I didn’t.
As far as styling they seem to have taken a note from Sonus Faber I'd say. I'm sure they sound very different though. Also, no matching subwoofer? They have to know you'll need one...
I absolutely ADORE Paradigm speakers. I started with the Mini Monitor V5's and Instantly fell in love. I have my "forever speakers" which are the Studio 100 V5's, if I hear something better, I may move on. Probably not though. 😅
*OOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH that spicy-sibilance you are hearing on movies is that PRO-TOOLS audio mix engine.. Protools has always had that hyped shelveEQ thing above 5k which makes nearly everything sound "CRISPY"! It has improved since they went NATIVE from RTAS AND TDM. However it is still there. I personally despise it, however from what you are saying, those speakers are REVEALING THAT QUALITY which is AWESOME for Mix & Master application. I am willing to gander that you can also easily hear the bit degradation on audio from youtube or MP3 also.*
Thanks for doing paradigm. Love your take. I’m a beryllium guy so I’m probably not a customer but I’m quite a fan of the band and the line. Thanks again. Also maybe put the audio advice link in the description so you can at least see them or paradigms own website.
So glad you enjoyed the review. As for the rest - You will never see Audio Advice promoted on this channel. If you haven't noticed, we're one of the few reviewers NOT in their pocket. As for the speaker, the only place to see them is at a local dealer which is noted in the description.
Thank you for engaging me. I never even saw this till last week. I didn’t initially see a link for the speakers others than the brand. I really enjoy your videos and perspective. Thanks for all that you do.
I've been eyeing a pair of Paradigm Monitor SE6000F's for a few years now, a few steps down from these but I have seen MOSTLY great reviews on Paradigm, throughout their model lines and I think I've made up my mind. Their AVR friendly frequency response and 95 db room sensitivity is really appraling to me.
Nice to see the Paradigm got reviewed in such details. I had the privilege to demo the Paradigm vs B&W vs SonusFaber years ago. With a small budget of around $3K, Paradigm was the best overall to my ears. However, i did purchase the SF Venere at the end due to the "look" 😆 as compromise. If i have saved enough, next time i will certainly pick the Paradigm.

I recently auditioned a pair of Paradigm Founders 100F floor standers. It was the best audition experience I have ever had. Paradigm vocals are always good but the discriminations revealed by those three, seven inch, woofers were the best I have heard on my test CD. I would not need a subwoofer with these.

Congrats to Paradigm for designing and making this speaker in Canada.

Also, that intro was A-MA-ZING! Bravo! 🎉
THANKS SO MUCH!
Love, love, love❤ Kristi's tell it like it is, no sugar coating outlook. She is the ultimate buyer wise council as it refers to value and aestetics for money.

Thank you for watching to the end!
I’ve been enjoying the Paradigm Founder 100F for a couple of years. They are the sweet spot in the Founder line-up. Glad your reviewing them. One of the best Canadian made speakers.

OMG! I need to get my affairs in order, the end is near. FINALLY a Paradigm review! Alleluia.

Very happy to see paradigm on your channel I always enjoy their speakers seem to always be a great bang for the buck at every price level!
Hello guys, the new intro is niiice 🔥🔥.
Thank you! So glad you like it!
@@andrewrobinsonreviewsyes its quite nice, prefer it over the old one
It's well done 👍🏽
Agree... REALLY nice.
Finally! So glad you were able to get Paradigm on the channel. The Founder series are some of the most beautiful speakers I’ve ever seen. And possibly my favorite sound.
Loving the new branding!
Thanks!
I have had a set of Paradigm Prestige series speakers for about 5 years now, love them but wasn’t sure what your thoughts were about the brand. I think the build quality is impeccable, and to me my setup has great imaging and reproduction of pretty much anything I listen to. Would live to see you do a review of their prestige series of floor standing speakers. Love your channel.
Great review. I own the Founder 100F’s and it is a stunning speaker. Paradigm has hit it out of the park with the Founder series.
So glad you finally reviewed this line from Paradigm. The first time I heard this line was the 100F towers and I was honestly blown away but the revealing nature of this series.
Know it's been commented on many times, but the attention to decor is superb. It bespokes of a space to be inspired by, inviting personal tweaks, while being a template to work from. Even makes that Marantz Cinema 40 look enticing in that hue❤🎶.And great representation for Samsung's "The Frame" Flat Panels!
I appreciate your kind words. The receiver is not the 50. It's bit.ly/3PFVd7v
@@andrewrobinsonreviews thank you for the clarification...I also was in error presuming the flat panel was a Samsung to then hear was a Sony :)
New logo is great, love how it acknowledges Kristi’s contributions! Also, that background music at the end sounded great on my system in surround!
Glad you liked the changes!
Founder 120H is one of the best sounding speakers I have ever heared. 120H or Totem Tribe Tower (totally different but oh so good) are my top 2 dream speakers right how.
This makes me so happy! I mentioned before I used to sell high end audio and always loved paradigm. Glad they are trickling in!
Me too!
Great to see you doing a Paradigm review. I own a full series of the Prestige line and it was one of my most rewarding purchases. I have to agree with you that owning Paradigm is much more than just the sound. The build quality and appearance is just phenomenal, and you nailed it when you spoke about having that pride of ownership. I consistently comment on Paradigm's ability to make an impression on people who aren't really into audio or home theater as a rule, but they always know they are seeing and hearing something special.
Great to finally see paradigm making its way onto the channel. I always thought they were a great speaker company but it is very hard to find decent reviews of them. Probably why I have Sonus Fabers instead.
I can relate and understand how a brand's absence from certain outlets can have give people pause. I thank you for watching!
When companies make their products hard for people to hear them, buy them or learn about them, no doubt those decisions impact the customer's buying decisions.
All that aside, Sonus Faber makes a fantastic speaker. Which ones did you end up going with?
@@KristiWright I completely agree! I ended up getting the Lumina V's in wenge and I'm in love! 😁 (Paired with the Technics SU-G700)
NICE!! Love the Technics amp.@@RobberClobber
Paradigm!!!!??? I’d forgotten about the brand, glad you two put them back on my radar. These speakers look awesome!
Would love to see you try out their Persona line.
Hi folks. Thank you for this great review. I'm a Canadian and have been a Paradigm fan for 30 years or more. I own their Studio 100 Version 2 from 2000. They've treated me well this entire time and I can't justify replacing them for the amount I'd need to spend to earn a noticeable improvement in sound.
Also, Paradigm are made in Canada (and were jointly made in the US for a time. Are they still?). Spending the money we do, I find it important to shop local if possible.
I greatly enjoyed this review. Thanks again.
I believe only the higher end speakers are made in Canada.
Only the entry-level Monitor series is made in China; Premier and above are made in Canada.
Absolutely LOVE my Founder series 120h’s & 90c. Paradigm makes great products.
I’m getting the 90C and 120Hs next week. Where do you have your center channel placed. I’m afraid I don’t have enough height room between tv and media console. Might have to place inside the console (BDI 8179) on the top shelve. This will lower the speaker by about 8” not to mention the tweeter might be blocked in the area where the two doors meet.
@@Fatewillgivein man, unfortunately I’m a member of the ‘TV too high’ community 🤣 My setup is in our living room with the TV above the fireplace and my 90c is on the mantle just under the TV. Definitely not ideal but it’s what I have to work with for the time being.
❤ Love Paradigm as a company and they are my tower + sub system for records and music. I like the idea of using "bookshelf" speakers as centers if possible to keep the front system symetrical. Thank you for reviewing the Founder and I do hope to see more setups from the channel.
I've always been a Paradigm fan. Thanks for this review.
Our pleasure!
Wow! This is such a high quality production. It looks really professional, and I love the background "soundtrack". And the presentation is also excellent. Extremely well done.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m glad you guys went with the LCR rather than other founder addition speakers
Good to hear it was helpful and "new".
I love it when you are in home theater mode. Awesome editing .
Oh, thank you! We enjoy doing home theater reviews as much as we do hifi ones! Thanks for commenting on the editing!
Paradigm - currently own the 8000 SE and 2000 SE (way down market from Founders) as a 3.0 system in my living room. Before buying I messaged Paradigm a couple of times to push them to get RUclips reviews of their product done. Their canned response back then was to push you to written reviews that were clearly sponsored. I saw Gene do a review of the 8000’s and pulled the trigger letting them know that the review helped make the decision. Nice to see them building a relationship and sending you guys product you ask for. The house sound seems a touch bright, but I enjoy it. Great review and love the new intro. Have a great Sunday.
...interesting to know how they were handling those requests...
Paradigm is an advertiser on the 'holic site...(tmyk)
I just came across a home theater setup that was the older v2 Paradigm Signature series (S8 towers and C5 center) and came across a written review by none other than Andrew Robinson from that many years ago! I was surprised to say the least, but completely agree with the impression that Paradigms leave, especially about the build and material quality.
Glad to see Paradigm in the mix here once again!
Yeah, that was a looooong time ago. Thanks for joining us today!
Great review! Nice to see some Founder series on here. I really like the aesthetics of the new house and room. You two put so much effort into it, and it is a beautiful stage to see all of the different audio equipment you're reviewing.
I have the 120H and 90C myself, and was a bit curious as to why the frequency response seemed to end at 17k when it's the same tweeter as the 90C, which goes up to 23k. Looks as though you may have mentioned the off-axis response.
curious what you use for surround speakers - I recently a/b tested the 800Fs to 100Fs (800Fs sounded great but the 100Fs were better in everyway) and also demo'd the 100Fs with the 90C - very impressive.
@@kel108 I have some old Energy CR1 for surrounds, but I'm looking at reconfiguring a lot in the future and may do in-wall.
I have a soft spot for paradigm. I own paradigm, the factory is local to me, Alana Alty is an acquaintance of mine and she was the lead designer of the signature series. So I guess I might be a bit of a fan boy, but nice to see you finally got to review something from them.
My last review was of the Signature S8 towers which I bought after the review (as well as the S2 bookshelf speakers). I am a total fan of the brand, which is why I've been so confused as to why it's been so long since our last review!
I have the 70LCR and the 40B, they are amazing speakers. My 40B image and sound stage better than anything I demoed. I had Monitor audio silver, Dyn Audio Evoke 20. and the Ascend Acoustic Seirra 2ex, all at the same time. The 40b in stereo are magnificent with imaging and sound stage. they measured really well, even better than the sierra 2ex. Sierra to EX is a great speaker, but the REEL ribbon tweeter was doing something strange in my listening space. I only had 30days to try them so I sent them back and kept the 40B over the rest.
I totally agree that the 70LCR is a bit soft in dialog at low volume, but the 40b is fantastic at any volume.
Would you expect the same of the Prestige 15B, which is discontinued but many seem to rave about? I love the high sensitivity, so these bookshelves are on my short list.
Hey, you and Christy inspired me to fix my two hitachi hma-7500 mkii. I just wanted to say thank you. I love that class a sound
I have the 100Fs and 40Bs and really love them. Paradigm came out swinging with this series.
Great review! Nice to see the evaluation of a Canadian made speaker. Very glad Andrew recognized that manufacturing in North
America, in this case my home country, Canada is more expensive, but you make up for it in quality control and company ownership.
I had the Paradigm LCR 450's since the late 90's and they still play fantastic. Paradigm is a great product . If I ever need to replace these, the founders will be first on the list.
NOOO WAY THIS IS SO EXCITING, I’m glad you guys got some in. 😄 time to watch the review now!
Enjoy!
A client has some 100Fs in the spectacular Midnight Cherry finish, and they are some of the best speakers I've heard in a long time.
I'm actually using 3 of these as my LCR paired with two Power Sound Audio TV1813 subs. They are incredible in my space.
So I need you to compare these to Arendal Monitors. They are gorgeous and I cant believe they havent shown these off more could not hit that 👍 fast enough.
Enjoyed the review, I'm a big fan and subscriber, glad you were able to get your hands on the Founder series. I have owned the 120H and C90 in Midnight Cherry and have never looked back. Truthfully, they are endgame for me. Would hope sometime in the future you get to experience and review the 120H's as they are hybrid and may check off some of the boxes you were stating on the 70"s,,,, space and bass! I recently added the Paradigm XR13 sub also in Midnight Cherry, super dense and performance above and beyond. I'm in my 50's and it was a journey to reach this point for me as I am a regular hard-working person as most of us are, but if you want amazing craftsmanship, performance, and pieces of furniture that look beautiful in any environment you won't go wrong. I retained my Klipsch 600M's ,2 pair as side and rear surrounds, with 2 pair 500S for Atmos with a Velodyne Digital sub and a Klipsch 120SW near field. As I stated most audiophiles, videophiles and enthusiasts will be more than happy and have no regrets with the Founder series or any other line in Paradigm sphere. Keep doing what you're doing, looking forward to the next review.
I’m getting the 90C and 120H next week. Tv mounted on wall and media console (BDI 8179) below TV. I don’t think I have enough height room (8”) to place the center speaker on top of console. My only option is to place the 90C inside the console on top shelve. This will result in lowering the center speaker 8” (vs being placed on top of console) and the tweeter would be blocked in the area where the two middle doors meet. Where do you have your center speaker placed?
Personally, I never was to much for LCR all around as bed layer speakers.
In my reality, I have a big living room that I use for music and movies. Complete layout was made as speakers and TV first, so it’s great for enjoying music and movies.
But I do not have another system for music, so I am still a fan of having great audio speakers as front and matching center and surrounds.
In my case I use B&W 600 series for 5 speakers, bed layer and 2 B&W subs. Polk SE10 are used as 4 height channels.
Maybe I am wrong, but I find this best for my house and options I have. I do not have a room to have separate audio system and therefore I like big floorstanders as front speakers.
My wonderful better half wife and I just finished this vid and I'll say it again. We relate to you quite a bit. We are moving from a condo to a nice small house and I'm trying to convince my wife to changing our samsung soundbar q950a system to a home theater and this vid is working so I thank you. She absolutely likes the end on the comparison on who did better. Lol. We have a budget of 2500 dollars so this really helped. I am a bass guy so I was looking at klipsh full packages including a denon receiver with dual subs for 2 thousand. Not sure if it comes with all the wires though so I'll have look again into that.
Anyways a great shout out to the 2 of you from us Jim and Melanie of Connecticut. Thank you very much.
Thanks for reviewing some Paradigms, Andrew & Kristi! Haven’t heard anything from them in quite a while.
I still have a pair of Paradigm Active 20’s in one of our bedrooms - one of my first sets of speakers that I was TRULY proud of owning.
When they first came out, I was absolutely amazed by their clarity and imaging capability - heard a demo of DMB’s “So Much to Say” off their “Crash” album and was just blown away by what those little speakers could do (including some surprisingly solid bass for rather small speakers)
OMG! A Canadian 🇨🇦 link in your discretions!!! Finally. Let me say, many times, as a Canadian Amazon power shopper I have continued to be frustrated by your American only links which have in all honesty stopped any and all shopping through your links. Until now! Want to increase your commissions? Well, you know the answer now. Thanks. 👍🏻
Watching your review on my new A95K was delightful, and listening to my surrounds play your background music was enlightening. Not sure if the Sony STR-AZ5000ES 360SSM had something to do with the surrounds playing a little bit louder than I would prefer (my Klipsch levels are set with my old Radio Schack DB meter).
Overall very nice presentation, awesome graphics and great sound/music effects! Bravo. Your channel is the best prepared content in the RUclips world!
Thanks so much!
Nice flex!!😅
That's the best speaker layout for a center channel. When they start using multiple mids it starts logging. I believe a good speaker will sound good for hi fi and home theater
I didn't know you directed April Showers.
I was part of the test audience in Omaha and I really liked it.
I remember reading something about how you needed to blur some of the outdoors back ground in post because the digital camera kept everything in focus no matter the distance.
I thought this added to the confusion and chaos in the scene where Tom Arnold's character is trying to determine what's going on and account for his students
Paradigm is amazing. I wish more stores sold paradigm. Wish u would have had a anthem avr to match with the speakers. Great video
Stay tuned...😉
Thank you for your awesome review of my all time go to brand of speakers since the mid 80's ! Canadian made near Toronto and not far from my home town so I have had the pleasure of touring thier factory and it is amazing to say the least everything from R&D to finished products is done in house. Paradigm is on the cutting edge and is dollar for dollar one of the best!
Great review as always. Can you review the Paradigm Founders 100F?
I like your new review format - background music and everything.
Love the new intro 🔥
I checked out the 120H when I was in the market a couple years ago, but $8k was too much for me. Very happy with my JBL HDI 3800’s now that they are fully broken in 🔊🔊🔊
I happen to really enjoy For the Love of the Game. I did play and umpire baseball so I have a perspective others may not. As always, to each his own.
It's a good, classic-type movie.
Happy Sunday AM Andrew/Kristi, great video and THANK YOU. I watch all your reviews. Quick Q: From other comments you've made in videos, I know you have installed some pretty safe electrical wiring in your home but do you still use any power conditioners/cleaners/voltage regulators like Furman products or Panamax (i.e. the M5400 or M1500?) I was wondering if you take the extra precautions to protect your high end gear by plugging any of your amps/equipment through any of these babies...Have a good rest of the weekend and totally love the new pacing of videos that work for you and your lifestyle! 🤓
We do not use any so-called high end or hifi power products. I use hospital/industrial grade strips when need be as well as battery backups for some components which we've discussed in past videos.
So first off......
Yay! My favorite reviewers finally reviewed my favorite brand!
Next, great overall review, but unfortunately you quoted the off axis frequency response which tops out at 17k, but on axis these are rated up to 23k +/- 2dB, of course it didn't impact the bass number. Hopefully, that doesn't scare anyone off from these great speakers.
Finally, Andrew, I am curious on more of your thoughts related to a specific comment you made. You basically said that when you switched between stereo and surround about the only change that you noticed was dialog localizing more to below the screen. This was specifically tied to the horizontal vs vertical placement of the speaker. However, this is exactly my experience with Paradigms with a center, or with phantom center. While I feel Paradigm centers are among the best made, I also find that Paradigms have such a good center image that my experience is better overall when I employ phantom center as the dialog is lifted closer to the center of the screen. Sound quality seems virtually unchanged to my ears, but I prefer the location of that sound better with phantom. Of course, when I suggest this in the Paradigm Facebook Group many people shoot it down aggressively (even some that readily admit they have never even tried it). What are your thoughts? If you were going to live with these 70 LCRs, do you think they are better with all 3 letters, or does adding the C actually slightly degrade the experience due to the vertical drop in the dialog further from the faces on the screen?
I have some ancient Studio 60s. Seriously thinking about upgrading to the Founder series. Thanks for the review.
I wish you'd reviewed the 120H towers and 90C centre combination :) !
Hi to both of you from Suzy and I (Alex). The new intro gets a big "YES" from us - not that you NEED a "yes" from us, both nevertheless, there it is (😂)!
Much love from the UK 😁💛😁
@@KristiWright
love my B&Ws , Kplisch epics , but they all sound thin compared to my little PARADIGM ATOMS V1, imaging is amazing, great detail and efficient.
Hmm, wonder why that is. The Atom's are great speakers, so I'm not doubting you, but not sure why other, equally good speakers, would sound THAT much worse? Thanks for watching!
@@andrewrobinsonreviews good point, they dont sound that much worse, as the expectation of the size of the other speakers which need alot of power to run, but the little Atoms with moderate power just blow me away each time I spin them up , not like Kef Meta 2 with monoblocks obviously but still grab my attention. keep the reviews coming!!!!
V1? You're going waaay back. I've never owned the Atoms but they sure were something else. Owned the Titans though, next size up in that line.
Some of my old Audio mags from 20-30 years ago have reviews of Paradigm. Reviewers always seemed to love them.
I've lived with the Studio 100 v2 for over 20 years and will never upgrade.
In the early 2000s I sold B&W, Paradigm, and Wharfdale speakers, with Marantz, NAD, and Classe components. Paradigm has always been a tad tweeter heavy.
I appreciate the vocabulary used in all your reviews. Most speaker review’ers every other word use so many Sommelier style words…. that it basically starts sounding like a wine enthusiast review 🙄Instead of speakers. Thanks guys!
Glad you enjoy our videos and find them more relatable.
Gota say I've enjoyed a ton of your videos and greatly appreciate your approach to reviews. I'm a Paradigm fan and have been for a long time. Love seeing this speaker reviewed here! I'm so, SO close to revamping my current theater setup with the founder series. Also just added two XR11 subs. Great video and thanks!
I've been enjoying the Paradigm Premiere setup in my Theater. My last theater had B&W 683s with a HTM6 center and I find the Paradigms much better for voice intelligibility. Could be the HTM6's less than ideal MTM arrangement vs the Paradigm 600C much better woofers and stacked mid and tweeter, but could also be the room, hard to say. Either way I really enjoyed my B&Ws but I consider the Paradigms an upgrade. YMMV
Seeing as Paradigm and Anthem go hand in hand, any chance you will have the opportunity to audition them with one of the integrated or AV receivers by Anthem? It is a magical combination, and I feel more on the analytical side over the warmth of Marantz products. You may find that the midrange and high frequencies open up to another level, the bass all be it rolled off in nature of the LCR’s. Should have a bit more control and authority.
Anyhow, another great speaker and manufacturer that delivers a quality product for the investment. Great job!
Happy Sunday, too, you both 😊.
Same to you
Well.. Its been worth the wait... Thanks for the the review Andrew.. You are the man.
Thanks for watching!
Would be nice to compare it to Arendal 1723 S or at least to 1961 LCR.
XTZ Cinema M6 or M8 comparison would also be interesting.
Great review once again guys. The new graph showing the speaker response and the subtle music in the background during this review was very nice. Keep up the great work!
Glad you liked it!
Love the new intro, background music was not my cup of tea. Paradigm, one of those legendary brands and a very balanced and fair review, glad that the quality's still there. Also would be interesting to hear your take on the Arendal Sound 1723 THX line of monitors, pretty please... 😉
Excellent advice and review recommendations. Breath of fresh air. LCR speakers are truly the way go. Movie theaters were setup that way. It was nice to see some clips from your movie. Way to go.
Thanks for watching!
Andrew and Kristi..I see you with your new crecesnt fresh new intro and logo....sweet!! Though I thoroughly not into home theater systems...I am starting to be convinced to check into em more and more (by you guys) as I want more speakers in my set up, but regular smegular decs dont have enough taps to power them all. A home theatre unit may be the way forward. And long live the 'Robinson Pause"!!
The LCR format is such a great idea!! I am for fewer boxes.
It is a really good design idea when done correctly!
Love paradigm. Was thinking about the founder towers but might go we these now
I splurged hard for the 120h’s…best decision I’ve made.
If you can demo them both that would be ideal as you could come to your own conclusion about which is best for you and your needs.

Hello from NC fellow HIFI nerds!
Thanks for joining us, Roy!
I have my paradigm studio 40 v2s , center cc and studio 20 v2's from 2002 They look fantastic and they sound great with my Marantz components 👍👍
@dajohnson5952 I still have the studio 40 v2 all around (4)
Great review and love the thoroughness. This channel needs to hit 1M subs!
Great to see a review of some Paradigm speakers. About 25 years ago I bought a home in theater set of speakers consisting of a pair of 9seMK3 towers cc 150 center and a pair of ADP 100 dipole surrounds. The center channel had to have the woofers re-foamed but the rest still original. I believe you reviewed the monitor se atom speakers a couple years ago at the beginning of the pandemic which you recommended due to their very low price and of course performance at that price. I picked them up and started started back in the hobby now retired with some time to enjoy the gear. Love to see more of their stuff reviewed as it’s not commonly done by anyone I follow. I believe I heard you mention in one other episode that Paradigm had mentioned they weren’t sending out people out products to review. Please keep up the great work both you and Kristi, hope I spelled her, name right sorry if I didn’t.
As far as styling they seem to have taken a note from Sonus Faber I'd say. I'm sure they sound very different though. Also, no matching subwoofer? They have to know you'll need one...
There is a matching subwoofer. Go to their site and you will see it.
I absolutely ADORE Paradigm speakers. I started with the Mini Monitor V5's and Instantly fell in love. I have my "forever speakers" which are the Studio 100 V5's, if I hear something better, I may move on. Probably not though. 😅
The mini Monitors are the budget bookshelf GOATS in my opinion. I've owned more copies of that speaker than any other.
@@andrewrobinsonreviews I still have 3 pair of them and use them. ❤️
Really pretty speakers…looks do matter! Yes, EVERY baseball movie comes with a very large “can of corn”..pun fully intended.
What's your favorite baseball movie?
@@andrewrobinsonreviews Any one without Kevin Costner! Completely honest…Bad News Bears!
*OOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH that spicy-sibilance you are hearing on movies is that PRO-TOOLS audio mix engine.. Protools has always had that hyped shelveEQ thing above 5k which makes nearly everything sound "CRISPY"! It has improved since they went NATIVE from RTAS AND TDM. However it is still there. I personally despise it, however from what you are saying, those speakers are REVEALING THAT QUALITY which is AWESOME for Mix & Master application. I am willing to gander that you can also easily hear the bit degradation on audio from youtube or MP3 also.*
Thanks for doing paradigm. Love your take. I’m a beryllium guy so I’m probably not a customer but I’m quite a fan of the band and the line. Thanks again. Also maybe put the audio advice link in the description so you can at least see them or paradigms own website.
So glad you enjoyed the review. As for the rest -
You will never see Audio Advice promoted on this channel. If you haven't noticed, we're one of the few reviewers NOT in their pocket. As for the speaker, the only place to see them is at a local dealer which is noted in the description.
🤔We just created an entire video where you can "see them".
Thank you for engaging me. I never even saw this till last week. I didn’t initially see a link for the speakers others than the brand. I really enjoy your videos and perspective. Thanks for all that you do.
Ah nuts, was hoping the Arendal 1723 (or 1723 S) Monitors would have made the comparisons. Wish list for another day!
Haven't heard those. Kristi mentions a nice comparable option in our conversation. Check it out if you haven't!
I've been eyeing a pair of Paradigm Monitor SE6000F's for a few years now, a few steps down from these but I have seen MOSTLY great reviews on Paradigm, throughout their model lines and I think I've made up my mind. Their AVR friendly frequency response and 95 db room sensitivity is really appraling to me.
Great, Great video. 3rd of 4th vid of yours i've watched today. You guys have earned a new sub!
Love the new frequency response graphics.
Thanks! I'm doing my best to make this stuff as easy to digest and understand for you all!
@@andrewrobinsonreviews It's much appreciated. The new graphic helped me understand rolloff more than I had previously.
Great Review as always! I think even Paradigm's entry level speakers are very well made, better than Klipsch!
Another great review. I've always loved Paradigm speakers glad you had a chance to showcase some.
Love paradigm...great company. Made in Canada..worth every penny to me. Great review.😁👍
not all of paradigms are made in canada....anymore
@@jkujda I agree but I do believe all the mid and up are still...made here. some of the lower end, are not not sure where. do you??
Nice to see the Paradigm got reviewed in such details.
I had the privilege to demo the Paradigm vs B&W vs SonusFaber years ago. With a small budget of around $3K, Paradigm was the best overall to my ears. However, i did purchase the SF Venere at the end due to the "look" 😆 as compromise.
If i have saved enough, next time i will certainly pick the Paradigm.
If i had the money I'd go with these as surrounds and go with the big boy towers for the fronts.
Damnnn 1800 a piece too much for me. I’ll be happy with the premier series I bet they sound phenomenal though
If you want to play with LCRs the Magnats are terrific and very affordable!
@@andrewrobinsonreviews wow those definitely are more reasonable price point when I get new speakers or another set I want to go paradigm premier .
