Paradigm Founder 80F 4-Driver 2.5 Way Floor Standing Speaker - Gloss Black - Pair
These Paradigm Founder 80F Speakers are Priced and Sold as a Pair
The Paradigm Founder 80F speakers are a true breakthrough in the world of high-performance audio. Designed to provide an exceptional listening experience, these floor-standing speakers are sold as a pair, allowing for a full stereo soundstage that’s rich in detail and precision. Whether you're enjoying music or watching movies, the Founder 80F is engineered to elevate your experience with a combination of cutting-edge technology, design, and craftsmanship.
Advanced Driver Technology for Unmatched Precision
One of the standout features of the Paradigm Founder 80F is its innovative driver technology. The speaker is equipped with a 4-driver, 2.5-way system, which includes a combination of high-performance bass, midrange, and high-frequency drivers designed to deliver incredible accuracy across the entire audio spectrum. These components are engineered to produce sound that’s not only detailed but also incredibly realistic.
The AL-MAC™ High-Frequency Driver is a key player in this setup. Made from a unique blend of aluminum, magnesium, and ceramic materials, this driver provides strength, lightness, and anti-resonance properties, ensuring that the treble frequencies are clear, crisp, and free from distortion. This advanced driver allows for greater control, ensuring that high frequencies are rendered with natural clarity, making the listening experience more immersive.
Similarly, the AL-MAG™ Midrange Driver is designed to capture the most sensitive area of human hearing—voices and mid-range instruments—offering a level of realism that draws you into the soundstage. This driver’s technology makes it sound like your favorite vocalist or actor is right in front of you, adding an emotional depth to your listening sessions.
For the low-end frequencies, the Ultra-High-Excursion CARBON-X™ Unibody Bass Driver delivers deep, powerful bass that brings music to life. With its single-piece construction and high-performance design, this bass driver ensures that the lowest notes are clear and impactful without sacrificing detail. Whether it's the thunder of a drum kit or the rumble of a bass guitar, the Founder 80F reproduces it with precision.
Innovative Cabinet Design and Acoustic Technology
The Founder 80F doesn’t just excel in its internal components. Its cabinet is engineered to enhance acoustic performance, offering a sleek design without compromising sound quality. Paradigm has invested heavily in ensuring that the enclosure reduces unwanted vibrations and resonance that could affect the clarity and accuracy of the sound.
The Cascade-Fusion Bracing system inside the cabinet ensures that the structure is incredibly rigid, reducing unwanted vibrations and standing waves. This results in tighter bass and clearer midrange, allowing the speaker to perform at its best even during high-output levels.
Furthermore, the Oblate Spherical Waveguide (OSW™) technology ensures that the tweeter output is precisely directed towards the listening area. This innovation prevents sound from dispersing to the sides, reducing room reflections and improving the clarity of high frequencies. Whether you’re sitting directly in front of the speaker or slightly off-center, the sound remains consistent and immersive.
Customization for Modern Living Spaces
The Paradigm Founder 80F is designed to fit seamlessly into modern homes with open-concept layouts and varying acoustic environments. The speaker’s design incorporates aesthetic considerations that align with the sleek, contemporary materials commonly found in today’s homes, such as glass, stone, and wood. Its stylish finish in Gloss Black offers a luxurious, high-gloss appearance that complements any living room or home theater setup.
Additionally, the Advanced Shock-Mount™ System isolates the drivers from the cabinet, further reducing any vibrations that could interfere with sound quality. This system also includes adjustable feet that allow you to fine-tune the speaker’s position for optimal performance, ensuring that the speakers are perfectly level regardless of your floor type.
Room Correction for Perfect Sound
One of the unique features of the Founder Series is its integration with Anthem Room Correction (ARC™). This system uses advanced software to analyze your room’s acoustics and tailor the speaker’s output for optimal sound quality. The result is clearer, more accurate sound, regardless of room shape, size, or surface materials. This feature is especially beneficial in challenging environments where traditional speakers might struggle to perform optimally.
With ARC Genesis, Paradigm has taken room correction to the next level, ensuring that your speakers sound their best in any room, delivering sound that’s as natural and true to the source as possible.
Built for Performance and Longevity
Crafted in Canada, the Paradigm Founder 80F is designed to provide lasting performance. The speakers are engineered using the highest-quality materials and built to withstand years of use while maintaining exceptional sound quality. Whether you're cranking up the volume for a movie night or enjoying quiet background music, these speakers are built to perform at the highest level, time and time again.
The high-efficiency components in the speaker allow for cleaner sound at higher volumes, meaning you don’t need to sacrifice quality when you turn up the dial. The bi-amp capable design allows you to connect separate amplifiers to different drivers, providing even more control over the speaker’s performance and enabling it to handle demanding audio sources with ease.
The Perfect Blend of Technology, Design, and Performance

These speakers are a result of meticulous research and development, combining innovative technologies with a beautiful aesthetic to deliver an unparalleled audio experience.
