Welcome Bart,
There have been many threads started on the Paradigm vs Axiom comparison. The general concensus is that the Axioms are overall better than the monitor series and equal or better than the studio line up.
Years ago when I was looking for speakers I auditioned locally some Paradigm Monitor floorstanding speakers (can't remember the model) which were supposed to be similar to the m60's. In my opinion the m60's were superior in most categories. I then tried the same model but from the Studio line up and thought it was a much closer comparison.
I also auditioned B&W 703's ($$$$) and also gave the edge to the m60's. I currently own m80's and they are awesome, but the 60's are no slouch.
Where do you live, we may know someone that is in your area?
