The Paradigm loudspeakers you referred to at the beginning of this thread don't actually use "midrange" drivers. They're bass/mid drivers in a 2 1/2 way system for the Studio 60's and a two way design for the Studio 10's.

If these speakers sounded bass heavy, it was most likely the listening room and / or speaker setup.
I would suspect that the Studio 10’s are bass shy in most environments!
