Paradigms can be bright, and the models you have presently are lower end. I'd suggest they are the weak link, I've got the 7v3 which can be brighter too. Glad that cabling helped, but in the long run you might consider an upgrade there, take your time though.
For speaker cables I got a big upgrade in clarity and soundstage with Audioquest Type 4. Replaced OFC fine strand 12 guage.
