really need an opinion. I listened to the Paradigm studio 60 and was impressed with their imaging and detail. I have also been hearing alot of good things about the Axiom m80. I can't find a place to audition the m80, so Im trying to get an opinion of which may be better for me. The m80 is substantially cheaper then the studio 60 and has me leaning toward it. I need something for mainly Home Theatre. I want something that sounds powerfull and detailed when cranked to high volumes. I like my movies and music loud!

To people who have auditioned both, what would you recommend and why? Axiom seems to be the best bang for your buck in Canadian audio. The prices dropped a lot since they went online only.

1300.00 for the M80 v2
about 1700.00 for studio 60 v3

I will then eventually build a 5.1 system around the mains. For a sub I will go with an SVS or HSU.

I know this is an Axiom forum but hopefully I can get some honest answers. Thanks guys.
