No kidding - Lake Quivira? Small world! I know right where that is. Just at the top of the Johnson County line. Yeah, Olathe is getting to be a rather large suburban mess. I see you live in Vegas? I usually end up there once or twice a year. That's another city marked by change in the last decade. The housing additions are all the way the the mountains now. I love the area though.

I'm thinking if the M80s are in fact CLOSE to the Studio 100s, then it's a no brainer. I'm saving the cash and going with Axiom. I get the feeling Axiom uses Paradigm as their benchmark. The nice guy at Axiom did say their speakers share much in common from research, design and builing with Paradigm.

I will still contact the one and only local Paradigm dealer today about a direct in-home comparison. We'll see what they say since the Monitor 11s will need to be ordered.

Guys, my sincere thanks for all the input. I'm very impressed with all things Outlaw, the products and the customers!
