I noticed this as well when I was listening to them. On the high end, I felt B&Ws did seem more laid back. But I felt the midrange of the Paradigms was better balanced (I also preferred the Mini Monitors over the Monitor 3s). Both are great choices and I know you're trying to decide between them. But given your preference for "smooth and warm" sound, I must ask if you had an opportunity to listen to JMLabs Chorus speakers. Their high end is anything but bright. In fact, I found it to be too laid back for me. Even so, I was still captivated by their ability to produce what I felt to be an exceedingly comfortable, smooth, warm overall sound. Might be just the sort of thing you're looking for.
