Bifwynne - I'm familiar with both Dyn's and the Paradigim Studio 100's. Honestly I never heard the S8's but since you mention some folks say tipped up highs and too detailed - I get the feeling they would be more like the Dyn Sapphires or S25's (do you agree Jax?). Very lively and punchy (and IMO tripped up highs and for me fatiguing after 4-5 hours). Most all other Dyn's are slightly laid back but a sound that never fatigues me.
That being said it sounds like both companies have speakers that vary greatly in tonal characteristics. There will always the group that wants a detailed - forward/lively yet punchy sound (like Jax, and I agree, stated - a party speaker). Then there will the group that wants a more musical speaker. No right or wrong just individual, personal taste.
