B&W Nautilus 803 or B&W 702 S2?


I'm currently sporting Paradigm 60 v3 for my fronts and considering purchasing B&W Nautilus 803 that are 10 years old or purchasing new B&W 702 S2.  My room is 25 x 20 feet, using Anthem A5 currently with McIntosh 135. Which would be a better fit based on these specs...and am I better off keeping the Paradigm's?

Hi hifineubee, how do the 702 S2 compare with the 805 D3? assuming they are driven by a good amplifier like the Bryston 4B3 300 watts, 24/96 or vinyl?   I know not properly driven both are very hard speakers to drive, they sound thin, edgy, dry, narrow mid range, like any under $500 speaker. I don't know how they may sound with a tube amp.  I have a 70 watts integrated tube amplifier and soon want to auditioning the 805 D3 on my house.  I'll post my findings when I listen them.
