Right. Non technical answer:
I listened to Paradigm Studio 7s. Not so good for the price. I listened to the Studio line including the 20,40 and 60. Damn that sounds good, but I don't have that kind of cash.
I listened to Axioms M22 M60 and M80 with and without subs. Damn that sounds good AND I can afford it!!
You can burry yourself in the technical details (and HTshack is a technical place more so than here), or you can listen to a bunch of speakers and make your own decision.
By the way, you will find that as you burry yourself in the technical details (being a geek at heart I love that sort of stuff) and start to read stuff by designers, there are many many ways to build a very good speaker.
