Hi Sandeep,
Regarding the brightness: I owned my Paradigm Mini Monitors (v. 1) before my M22's, and always had a slight issue with brightness. On some CDs I wouldn't notice, then on others a certain part of the music seemed to really shout at me, like cymbal clashes.
I was worried about the M22's alleged brightness, but I have to say that I find them very neutral; I would not describe them as bright, especially compared to my Paradigms. I believe that many people experience speaker break-in during their first 30 hours or so with the Axioms, real or perceived, but after that period they really mellow out and sound neutral. That is definitely what I heard.
