Are the Paradigm Founder Series really, really good speakers?


I'm considering them as a replacement for my beloved Phase Technology PC 3.5's. I'm looking at the 80f or the 100f. 

I've listened to them but can't help but think that they sound really good but do they really sound good or just different than what I'm used to even though I'm very happy with them but feel like I want something new/different.

Last week I was visiting my brother and we visited a hi fi shop and I heard the Founder 120H and I was impressed with how they sounded....I previously had been underwhelmed with Paradigm speakers
I have the 80f's at the house now auditioning them and I'm very impressed for a small floor standing speaker these things produce some nice clean bass and they don't distort at high volume. I'm digging them so far. 

However I think the 100f's would be a better suite for me. A real mid range driver is nice with a bigger cabinet, one more woofer plug each of them are a little bigger.
