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

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. 

I heard the bookshelf speaker for a few songs. It seemed like a nice speaker for the money but I did not feel like it played out of it’s price range. I don’t expect these to be a “game changer” just another speaker.

Hi,
Your pre-release enthusiasm is perplexing.  Sure, Paradigm is a company with a strong tradition and some definite successes in the past, but they’ve made their share of misses too, like any big speaker company.  Why don’t we wait and see if these are really special first, hmmm?

Pretty sure Paradigm is smart enough to not make their cheaper speakers sound better than the flagship but who knows.

I look at the Prestige as a replacement for the Studios. I would guess these would be on tier of the Signatures and then the Persona are more of the cost no object (to a point) design? Anyway I will seek these out to hear once they are in the wild.
