Ok I'll say it, I think Paradigm's make some kick-ass looking speakers! Axiom's are a little more to the point. Nothing really too fancy about them, they just do what they do without a lot of fussing about with it's make-up. Axiom's are designed (well, maybe not the real wood finishes) more or less to disappear into a room. Those Paradigm's on the other hand are more of a center piece, they like the attention.
And I respect that. I would love to hear the Studio 100's next to my M80's simply because Paradigm was the first company I seriously considered when I was looking for my new towers. Not that I'm unhappy at all with my Axiom's mind you, quite the opposite is true, I'm absolutely thrilled with them!!! Still, I'd love to hear them side by side just for shits and giggles!
