Greetings! I want to upgrade my speakers within the next couple of weeks. I have auditioned Paradigm reference studio 100 mains and the CC-570 center channel. Sounded really good. Now granted, am still looking though. I've been checking out the Axioms and was wanting to know if anyone has compared these to the paradigm studio line. If I was to go with the Axioms it would be the M80's, vp150, and the QS8 surrounds. I'm gonna get separates to power everything either Parasound or Outlaw. Also, can these Axioms handle alot of power? The parasound amp I'm looking at is 250x5. The Axiom's will be quite a bit cheaper than the Paradigm's. I know Axiom gives you a 30 day trial but before anyone suggests that, I will tell you right off the bat that I don't like do deal with the hassle of sending something back. Like I said, I want to upgrade my speakers but don't want to rush into something and regret my purchase. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
