Are there any Paradigm dealers nearby? The Studio 100's have a very similar sound, so if you can hear a set of 100's you have pretty much heard the M80's only with A/B testing would you be able to hear the differences, in my experiences/ears any way.

The measurement can be helpfull to a point..but. bottom line, is what dose it sound like.
Plus what dose it sound like in your house, and space that your dealing with.
I pretty much have to try the M80 out. I can find no real problems stated with them. Again...i have to see..or more important listen.

Speaking about your room how is it furnished. Is it a highly reflective room?

At the moment..there is only a bar at the end of the room. 7foot ceiling with dropped panels, it's a basement locaton. But there will be a bunch of tables and chairs as such. I just finished it..so at the moment..not a lot in there. Could end up with a couch for all i know..so it's up in the air.

No there's not a Paradigm dealer around. To be honest they never really floated my boat, BUT...were talking 20 years ago..so that is pretty usless at this point.

All i can say at this point, is as long as i get the 30 day trial, then i will call them on monday. Untill i can hear them..it's usless to assume anything.

As long as you buy directly from Axiom you will get the 30 day trial and 5 year warranty. If you decide to return them you will get a full refund but have to pay for the return shipping.

Well as far as i know..it's off the Axiom wedsite. Basically they have to sound better or at least as good as my Polks, and handle the power.
Without hearing the speakers...thats all i can say. Either they work..or they don't.

The M80 is one of those speakers that IS built for power handling. Whether you like the sound quality... audition them in your home.
