A slight difference for the money increase is not sufficient to alter my choice from Axioms' to Paradigms' and I thank everyone who replied. I have always preffered the Bookshelf with Subwoofer combo over the floorstanding speakers. I listen to mostly Trance/Techno, and the very high pitched sweeping synths always sounded clearer when handled alone, with the sub shaking the walls somewhere in the corner. When cranked up, floorstanders, even high end Magneplanar priced at $1600 a pair would lose the definitive quality treble and sound 'muddled' and 'crowded' by the woofers they sat above. Now I can only speak for the effect trance music at obscene volume levels has on floorstanders, but this being my primary reason (and movies) for buying a new speaker setup, I only need this comparison. Thank you again for your help and I look forward to buying my M22ti's.
