Choosing between floorstanding speakers.

HI, i am new here so first of all thanks for reading. I want to upgrade the front speakers in my home theatre. Currently I have an old pair of B&W 603S2 hooked to a Marantz NR 1606 on Pre - amps with a Crown li800 Amp. I have 3 options.
1) A pair of CM10 S2, they are asking about 2K (which is a bit over my budget but local pick up) 2) A pair or 802 S3, almost the same price 3) A pair of the new 600 Series (603) for almost 300 USD less. 
I love audio, my usage of that set is mainly movies from BluRay 4K and the usual streaming services. I might listen to music every once in a while but is not its main use.

Thanks for your responses.

For floor standers the Vandy 1's, especially coupled with subs is a good move.
Though I would suggest looking at the VLR's, as well. They are bookshelf speakers but, like the 1's, when coupled with subs, are an unbelievable speaker. I heard them with a Belles Aria integrated/ Aurender N100 and was blown away. When a set of AQ William Tell speaker cables (not cheap) were added (without subs, mind you), I was floored.
Just PM agon member ctsooner. What we both heard could make the angels weep. No exaggeration.
