I have auditioned the Monitor Audio line. The Bronze and Silver series are good but I ended up with the gold series. From the GR10s up to the 60s you can't go wrong. Having said that, they are very pricey to purchase new.
I have a pair of GR60s that myself and two others in my area are going to review side by side with the Axiom M60s (identical driver arrangement). The local audiophile shop sells the GR60s for about $6000 CDN a pair (may be less now but needless to say I did not buy from them).
I expect the GR60 to sound slightly better but likely not worth the extra several thousand dollars. We will see...I may be surprised never having heard the Axioms yet.
As for Paradigm, I really liked their reference line but the others were just ok. I am suspecting that the M60 will more than be adequate for you.
As a side note, I bought the GR60s (used and a little dinged) before I found out about Axiom.
