I know this is not the speakers in question, but I auditioned the Paradigm System Seven.2, in which the mains are the Monitor 9.
I felt that compared to the Axiom M80ti SE, the 9s were boomy and not as accurate.

I'm not sure if these two should be compared to each other but the systems I was looking at were comparable in price.

I have found that the Axiom line is very precise and accurate.
