Hi Hogie,
I have quite a few Paradigms left over from my years as an audio-video magazine editor, and the timbral (tonal) match of Axiom's QS8s to the Paradigm Studio series is excellent. Some of the double-blind tests I've done with Axioms and Paradigms have shown that the Paradigm Studio 20 bookshelf models and Axiom's M22 v2 bookshelf models are virtually indistinguishable. Or, as my old mentor, Dr. Floyd Toole, used to say "similarly good."
My condolences on your use of the Boses as surrounds. You'll be thrilled with the surround sound field delivered by Axiom's QS8s.
Regards,
Alan
