Product Summary
The Paradigm Founder 120H is a flagship hybrid floorstanding loudspeaker that brings serious low-frequency authority, scale and transparency to a high-end two-channel system. Sitting at the top of the Founder range, it is built for listeners who want full-range performance and premium engineering in one ambitious loudspeaker design.
A big part of the 120H’s appeal is the way it blends advanced driver technology with powered bass. Paradigm combines an AL-MAC high-frequency driver, an AL-MAG midrange driver and three active bass drivers, giving the speaker the ability to deliver excellent clarity and image focus through the mid and treble while also producing deep, powerful low frequencies with greater control. The hybrid approach makes it especially attractive if you want the benefits of serious bass performance without relying as heavily on amplifier power for the lowest octaves.
The Founder 120H is also designed to integrate more effectively into real rooms than many traditional flagship floorstanders. With ARC Genesis room correction support for the powered bass section, it offers useful in-room tuning flexibility alongside the premium cabinet construction and finish quality Paradigm’s Founder series is known for. For anyone wanting a statement-level floorstanding loudspeaker with impressive bass authority, refinement and system-building potential, the Paradigm Founder 120H is a very compelling choice.
