i'm curious, have you heard the paradigms? I too have been comparing them to the axioms but i assumed a different comparison. to me, the paradigm studios sounded smoother than the monitors so with only having been able to audition the axiom 50s, i'm just guessing that the 60s would sound more like the monitors (both being brighter/crisper) and the 50s would sound more like the studios (both more laid back/forgiving). i'm very interested in learning more of how you reached your conclusions. you've probably had more experience...
