My dad bought the Paradigm Studio 60s few years ago, I bought Axiom M60s since they were cheaper. To be honest I've listened to both on same equipment and swap speakers and they sound very very similiar to me. While I think the Axiom has more forward sound, the paradigm has little more bass. My dad has Denon receiver and I have rotel amp and it seemed that the paradigm didn't open up much in lower volumes unless you cranked it up some while you can hear the Axioms better at lower volumes, not sure why. Both are good quality speakers but you get more sound for your money with Axioms in my opinion. Either way, you can't go wrong. By the way my dad went with QS8s for surrounds and they blend perfectly with his paradigm studio 60s.
