I have to say in opposition to the previous response that I would go with the Vandersteens. As far a dynamics and frequency response the Vandersteens will wipe the floor with the Paradigms. I know because I own Paradigm Ref. Active 20's and Vandersteen 2ce's. The paradigms are very nice and amazing for thier size, but I am using them in the rear channels of my surround set up. I am going to sell them and buy the Vandersteen VSM-1's. I have auditioned the VSM's and the 1c's to replace my Active 20's and they both outperfom the Paradigms. I am going with the VSM's not because they sound better than the 1c's, but because I don't have room for the 1c's in the back of my room. Anyway you should try and audition them both before you buy to make sure of the match with your Jolida gear. Good luck.
