Stand it upright as a stereo pair or front speaker, or lay it flat under the TV as a center – thanks to the coaxial mid\/treble driver, the sound stays focused in any orientation. That's exactly what makes seamless home cinema fronts possible: three 70LCRs left, center, right, and the voice travels across the whole screen without a hitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower and finesse from a surprisingly compact cabinet. The coaxial driver concentrates mid and treble into a single point, so voices stay precisely placed – even off the sweet spot. Two 14 cm Carbon-X woofers deliver dry, controlled bass in the sealed enclosure. The result: rich in detail, dynamic, and never strained, whether it's music or film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Founder 70LCR for? (and who it's not for – straight talk)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor home cinema fans who want a tonally perfectly matched front made of identical speakers – and for anyone who values flexibility. Straight talk: as a center channel, the 70LCR is deliberately wide; laid flat, it needs correspondingly wide furniture under the TV. And it's not a wall-mount speaker to hang up – it wants to stand or lie down, not be screwed to the wall. As a versatile building block for a Founder front, though, it's hard to beat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Founder 70LCR is one of the most versatile speakers in its class: center, front, and bookshelf in one, with coaxial precision and the typically dry Founder bass. If you're looking for a seamless, tonally coherent home cinema front, this is the ideal building block. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, we plan your setup from center to rears and set it up properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the trade press says:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Powerful and refined, with genuine scale from relatively small cabinets that's never at the expense of fine detail\" – \u003cem\u003eHome Cinema Choice, 2021 (5\/5)\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: 3-way LCR speaker, 4 drivers, sealed enclosure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreble\/midrange: coaxial 25 mm (1\") AL-MAC + 152 mm (6\") AL-MAG, OSW waveguide + PPA lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoofers: two 140 mm (5.5\") Carbon-X unibody, Gen3 ART\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 79 Hz – 23 kHz (on-axis); bass extension 47 Hz (DIN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 92 dB \/ 89 dB (anechoic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended amplifier power: 15 – 220 W; max. input power 150 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpedance: 8 ohm compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlacement: vertical (front\/bookshelf) or horizontal (center)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W×H×D, lying flat): 48.0 × 20.4 × 31.3 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 13.6 kg each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in: Black Gloss, Black Walnut, Midnight Cherry, Walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold: each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: LCR speaker, magnetic front cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use the Founder 70LCR as both a center and a front speaker?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, that's exactly what it's made for. Upright, it serves as a front or bookshelf speaker; lying flat, it's a center under the TV. Because all three positions use the same speaker, the front is tonally perfectly matched and voices travel seamlessly from left to right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Founder 70LCR a wall-mount speaker?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. The 70LCR is meant to be stood up or laid down, not hung on the wall. Upright, it fits on a stand, sideboard, or shelf; lying flat as a center, it goes on a sufficiently wide TV cabinet. Plan the placement accordingly so it stands stable and free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many Founder 70LCRs do I need for home cinema?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFor a classic Founder front, you'd use three 70LCRs as left, center, and right. Add Founder 40B as surrounds and a subwoofer, and you get a fully matched system. We'll put together the right combination for your room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the 70LCR have a sealed enclosure?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe sealed cabinet delivers particularly dry, precise bass without port noise – ideal for dialogue and fast effects in home cinema. The subwoofer takes over the deep extension when needed, while the 70LCR stays clean and controlled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy buy the Paradigm Founder 70LCR at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBecause a coherent home cinema needs planning – from center to fronts to subwoofer and cabling.
