Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Axiom M22/M60 vs. Paradigm Monitor series

Alan,

If you're tired of Brothers in Arms, you could try some of Mark Knopfler's more recent solo material. Real melodies aplenty. "Sailing to Philadelphia" and "Ragpicker's Dream" are his two most recent albums and I couldn't recommend them any more highly. Very well engineered, too.

Thanks everyone for the feedback - will be ordering the end of this week.

i demo'ed paradigms a week ago. looked at monitor 7's and like them vs the mini monitors. then I compared the monitor 7's vs the wharfedale evo20's. the wharfedales were SIGNIFICANTLY more detailed. less bass, but much better, IMHO. I was going to get the aperions and compare in home w/ the wharfedales, but sushi suggested axioms so I'm considering those too.

there's some concern (from some reviews) that the axiom sub is not as good as others. i may consider the paradigm PDR12 which I demo'ed as well. not bad for 12" at $419. tight and not muddled.

I did some Paradigm listening when I was looking. Something just didn't sound right with the Monitor series to me. I think to fairly compare with the Axiom's, you need to move up to the reference line. Alan has mentioned to me in the past that the Paradigm reference 20's and the M22 are very similar.
