They are very reminiscent of the JBL 4367 loudspeakers that I reviewed a while back. The dark blue line indicates the impedance while the red trace shows the phase angle relative to that. Founders floorstanding models also receive this treatment on their midrange drivers helping to project the sound more predictably at a distance. The Founders sell for real-world prices, but they are significantly advanced in design and cosmetics. The harp plucks also sounded very smooth yet well-defined with the upper bass performance of the speakers giving additional body to that instruments sound.

And with on-board room correction ready to deal with the most difficult acoustic issues in a room (thatd be the bass), the Founders 120H stack up very well against some other well-regarded sub $10,000.00 per pair loudspeaker competition. We believe that speakers should be a natural extension of your rooms look and feel, while Less exciting but more balanced overall. acoustics are all but eliminated.

The opening kick drum dug deep and had a palpably solid impact to its sound that I could feel from my chair. Switching to something a little slower-paced and with more of a pop sensibility, Hypnotic has a great pulsing groove to it and showcases a bit more of Fishs singing ability. Taking it a step further, the Founder 120H includes an internal 1000-watt amplifier that powers the bass drivers. These beautiful cabinets are seen and not heard. Share your thoughts with other customers. The foundation of our listening begins with the lowest frequencies. The drivers themselves are not attached to the aluminum plate at all but are fastened to the cabinet proper with a somewhat unconventional method. materials; each of which contribute to the end goal of greater Where the Heck are the Small A/V Receivers? We are thrilled to announce that the Paradigm Founder Series of Premium Loudspeakers will begin shipping to our network of authorized Paradigm dealers and distributors. This all results in a solid and very tightly braced enclosure that passes the knuckle-wrap test with flying colors and minimizes the chances of coloration to the sound.

This gave me a touch more of the low-end punch that I was after and is the final calibration that I used for my listening impressions. structure are where the rubber meets the road as far as dynamics The CEA-2034A uses +/- 10 degrees vertical radiation measurements in producing the average, not the +/-15-degree measurements used in the NRC listening window. And as the title of the album suggests, the duo are covering various popular tunes from various genres and eras of music in their own inimitable style. Taking the bass reproduction heavy lifting away from your power amplifier leaves it free to focus on the less demanding midrange and tweeter and inherently produces less overall distortion.

Without these resonances, all drivers are left free to A beautiful and intimate jazz/blues recording that is a startling reminder of what Doris Day was vocally capable of and of Andre Previns chops on a piano. 4-driver, 2.5 way floorstanding, ported enclosure. listeners are more tolerant of high output levels when distortion is Detail, clarity, accuracy, fidelity these are words often thrown around to indicate the quality of sound, but what of the quantity? The OSW helps Founder Series Loudspeakers cope with the challenge presented by modern-day environments, which are larger, more open, and full of reflective surfaces. Deploy powerful sound . very proud of is the new Advanced Shock Mount system which is The 120H also takes advantage of the incredible ARC Genesis room David Rich notes: This is close to an ideal result. We do this by making sure all driver components are designed for maximum power handling and output. cone area. When we say precision we mean the nuance, detail, and realism that is achieved when a speaker gets it right. Founder series includes many new advances in design, materials, and engineering to provide class defining levels of performance. a natural anti-resonance to ensure the tweeter doesnt just sound during the most demanding musical passages or intense action scenes.
