Paradigm or Axiom?

[scotty11]

i am trying to decide which speakers to buy.
i've heard the paradigms at a friends house(he has the monitor11)
but i cant demo axioms anywhere.

im looking to buy fronts and a center

i was thinking the Paradigm monitor 11 or Studio 40
i have an SVS PB12/2 so i dont need to spend the extra bucks on larger towers.

any opinions on Axioms (the M80/60's)?
"" " Revel Concerta?

how do they rate as compared to the Paradigms?

all the above speakers including center are under $2k so cost is not an issue.

the speakers will be for 70% home theater/30% music

I have not heard the Axiom's but I do have the Paradigm Mon 7's with a PB10 and it sounds very good for HT. good for music, but not very good. However, I think I would ahve to spend a lot more money to get a lot better sound. I would like to own the Mon 11's though...

Hi,

If you want to demo Axioms, see if there's anyone near you on this listing and shoot them a PM on the Axiom boards:
