Paradigm Monitor 7s

Paradigm does not make a bad speaker. I have a friend who has a pair of these and they sound great, quite neutral and well engineered especially given the reasonable prices of all Paradigm products. Their R&D facilities along with manufacturing plant in Ontario, Canada is quite state of the art.

Had a pair for 2 years. Good starter speaker but not super refined.

Good resolution, well balanced. Not the last word in bass reproduction and I found the metal tweeter a bit edgy.

Move up to the Reference line of Paradigm if possible.

I use Monitor 7s in a surround system for movies. Monitor 5s for rear and CC-370. I originally tried the 7s in a 2 channel system. They sounded just okay considering their price. I think Entrope best describes them. If you do want Paradigms, I would look at the Reference series.
