No love. Why?

Probably because they have heard them in a different set up than yours with a different source, different amp, different room, and most importantly different expectations. Wait 'til you have a chance to hear their POS. :-)

Just relax, ignore the comments, unless you have solicited them, and enjoy the music.

Some do it to be mean and some because they prefer a different sound. People have said terrible things about my speakers. Bottom line is your own ears. If you are happy try not to let other opinions bother you. It's important to develop thick skin with this hobby!

I suspect that it's because they aren't exciting visually and they fall into a price point where they're below the radar for many . I had a pair of the Monitor 7 se mkii and I thought they were very good speakers. Ultimately they left the stable because they lacked that certain something that speakers I've kept had- I just wasn't excited about them. I wouldn't be bummed if they were my only speakers either. There was no lack of love, they just didn't have any romance or special aura about them. Enjoy them!

Paradigm has speakers from $300 - $6,000 . Smaller boutique companies start at 6k and go up . Deep pocketed audiophiles would never even consider them . As a previous owner of studio 100 v2 ,v3 studio 40 v2 studio 10 v5 . I know what you like about them . Some will give opinions here with no knowledge of the op's questions . Just need to ignore them as much as possible. Only reason i moved on is every couple of years i want a change . i have gone back to paradigm on more than one ocassion . When they come up on CL for a price i cannot refuse .
