You are asking a tough questions. Let me ask you some: Have you listened to the Axioms in your present setup? Have you listened to the Paradigms in your current setup? If so, what was it that got you listening to other manufacturers? If not, why are you looking at other manufacturers?
Let me make 2 points:
1) years ago, I auditioned PSB, Paradigm, Mission, Infinity and Axiom all at the same price range. I found the order or quality in all areas as: Axiom, PSB, Paradigm, Mission, and Infinity. ( I bought the Axioms and have not had ANY reason to believe I made a mistake)
2) Conventional thinking is that if you buy a piece from a manufacturers HT lineup, it may produce tonal imbalance and lead to difficult following of the voices to mix manufacturers.
