Hukk, I don't know the Paradigms, so cannot offer any comparison.A couple of reasons I settled on the VR1s: great bass response for a monitor and great imaging. So you know my biases.
Meantime, you may want to bone up on the VR1s and other VSA speakers' placement requirements.
First, for bass you need to keep them closer to the back walls for max base response. That does not mean that it falls off mightily, just that distance from back wall does impact bass reinforcement. Mine, as I told you, are 22" from the back wall and that's bass enough from them for me!
Second, VSA speakers are designed to work best with an equilateral triangle placement relative to your listening position, and that's usually also flat front, not toed-in. So that does impact what rooms may work best with this differently than with many other speakers, particularly if your room is long and narrow in width relative to your seat. There are workarounds for this, but just thought you should know this. When properly placed they're really fantastic on imaging, even off axis they're good at it.
