See if you can take out the Paradigms for a test run and take them with you to Axiom when you visit. I certainly can't speak for thier policy but I wouldn't be surprised if they would let you A/B both in their site as they are big promoters of the 'must compare in the exact same environment' rule. Ask first of course to be polite otherwise we will both get in trouble. heh heh.
They might be more eager to do this than the local Paradigm retailer allowing you to bring strange speakers there when other customers could hear.
My bet is that you will love both but Axiom's price can't be beat for something that is the same quality.
If I suddenly get banned from the board, I will know that that was a bad idea.
