hey lomb7,

If you have the budget, you could consider upgrading to Axioms. Yes, M60's or M80's would be much better than Paradigm9's.

I'm sure you could get a good deal for the Paradigm's if you sold them. I have never heard of your center speaker so I cannot say anything about it.

M60's or M80's and a VP150 would sound excellent. QS8's also sound better than QS4's.

The Outlaw amps are very strong and would have no problem driving Axiom speakers. Axiom's are very, very sensitive and therefore need less power to play loud. I use a Denon 1602 (which is 100wpc at 6phm) to power the 6ohm QS8's and VP150 and the 4ohm M80's to very nice levels in a 400 sq foot room.
