Description
The Paradigm Founder 40B is a 2-driver, 2-way stand-mount bookshelf speaker in a ported enclosure, built for precision, control, and dynamics. It pairs an AL-MAC tweeter with an Ultra-High-Excursion AL-MAG mid/bass cone in a faceted, Cascade-Fusion braced cabinet for detailed, realistic sound in a compact footprint.
