All NEW Paradigm FOUNDER SERIES...Could they be Paradigm's best speakers yet ?

Passive speaker competitors to the Genelec 8351B or the Dutch and Dutch 8C would be nice, but they are possibly simply beyond what’s possible with passive crossover components.

My hope is Paradigm does a high end refresh with Founders design and maybe beryllium drivers, to push high end passive engineering. For people who don’t have the space for a TAD CR1, haha. Besides that’s getting long in the tooth, even if it was flagship engineering of 2008.

I'm really interested in seeing how the 70 LCR measures.

I think Beryllium Drivers are overrated !

These Founder series speakers look so stunning in Midnight Cherry

Oh no doubt you can make as good of a speaker with aluminum drivers. But with those high end materials deployed will result in a very large price tag, and then you would also assume quality, driver matching, and the cabinets will be a lot better, which is more of my main concern.

So far my main issue with these so far is aesthetics, but maybe the measurements will win me over.

Our founders 40s and 80s arrive tommorrow

I guess these will replace the Prestige series which were a bit bland. This price range is very competitive and the Prestige had been around for a while.
