So, I've decided to pursue a slightly different route than I suggested in my original post. I will hold on to the Paradigm's because they are still great. I went ahead and bought a used pair of Elac UB5's for $250 just to scratch the "itch" of wanting to dry a different flavor so to speak.
Instead of spending $1,000 on new speakers, I will be investing $1200 on a pair of Rel subs to set the foundation, literally, for current and future speakers.
