bookshelf speaker choice

I am planning to upgrade my speakers, I thought I would ask for a few opinions.
Currently I use a B&K amp and I am considering either new NHT classic 3's, used paradigm studio 40's, or used Von Schweikert VR-1's. All 3 should be the similar in price range, which would you choose. I want something off the floor since it's a small house and couple of small children which creates a need for speakers that are not floor standing. These are meant for stereo listening and mains for my HT. Thanks for the input.

Tough one...Von Schweikert VR-1's because size and the drivers. Plus it's the same speaker as the VR-2 minus the bass driver.

If you buy new look at my favorite Haydn Grand by Vienna Acoustics or Usher BE-718 tiny dancer. Both mentioned in TAS and you can find them on the "GoN".

Also for check the "GoN" for used Totem Model 1s.

Jdfelice I don't think you have a bad choice either way.

Don't forget your stands will cost you $200 to $500.

My two cents...hold out longer for a used pair Usher BE-718.

Enjoy the process and have some fun.
