Sorry, one other point... the M60s seem to go a bit DEEPER in the bass, while the Paradigms seem to have a bit MORE bass (slightly boosted in my opinion). The more accurate bass of the Axioms plus much better pricing (Axioms are priced like the Monitor line but perform more like the Reference line) were the two main reasons I went with M60s rather than Paradigms.

Paradigms go through dealer networks so they tend to cost more on average but sometimes you get really good sales. If you could get a great deal on the Paradigm References I would say "go for it", otherwise Axiom seems to be the way to go. Both are great speakers though...
