I have heard the paradigms. I found the monitor line to be less precise than the studios. The monitors, I found to be a boomy midbass heavy speaker compared to the incredible highs of the studios. Of course I have only heard the studio 20s compared to the mini monitors, monitor 7 and 11. I was initially somewhat impressed with the midbass of the mini monitors, but each time I returned to the same B&M to listen to them they started to sound drab to me. I now own Axiom m22ti's, which I consider a superior speaker to any of the paradigm's I have listened to.
