Hi Rao, welcome. I'm sorry I haven't heard the Emotiva line of speakers before so I can't comment on them, however, if you need an idea of what Axiom speakers sound like, many of us who have heard the Paradigm Studios felt they were similar in character(excellent bass, very detailed, plenty powerfull). If you are able to hear some Studio 100s, they are sonically similar to M80s, in my opinion(as well other forum members), but at a lower entry fee. Hopefully someone here has heard the Emotivas, but if you were to try out the Epic 80/500 I'm sure you'll be blown away by it.

Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.
