I was able to compare Paradigm Studio 100/CC-690 and PSB Image T6/C5 not exactly side by side but at a same dealer location just in different listening room and PSBs were pretty good but bit laid back for my taste. PSBs sounded amazing with Jazz and Indian Classical music but Paradigms were better with movies, Rock, Hip-hop and as far as center channel goes between Image C5 and Paradigm CC-690, Paradigm sounded leagues better than PSB Image C5. Downside with both brands is - arrogant dealers, they don't budge on price and have to rely on dealer to provide any support not Paradigm. Unfortunately local dealer does not offer in home trial even if I leave a deposit so not sure if I ever be able to compare them side by side if I sign-up for Axiom 30-day in-home trial and that is why I am here looking for current Axiom owners feedback and to see if they had any opportunity to compare Axiom and Paradigm side by side before they settled down with Axiom.
