Petre,

I owned Paradigm Monitor 9s before I got my Axiom M22s. Even though they couldn't compete in the bass area, the M22s absolutely blew the Paradigms out of the water in every other area. I was able to directly compare them in my living room since I sold the Paradigms after the M22s arrived.

As has been mentioned before, to compare Paradigm and Axiom, you have to use the Studio series -- but you've got to pay a lot more for the Paradigms.
