Paradigm is a better speaker but you pay for them . I may have a set for sell soon myself . I use to sell them but I no longer do . Wharfedale is probably comparable in most opinions, i believe they may be a little better , Jamo is comparable , they can get loud and they have full 5.0 sets cheap . MTX is a little lower quality but supprizing for the price, their fit and finish is not near as good as the rest.
