I would look at the Wilson Benesch Vector's and they will pair well with the WB Fulcrum as your center channel.
I have the Vertexes here and they are one of the cleanest, most transparent speakers I have ever heard but without being bright. The WB cabinets are pretty special and simply allow more sound to travel forward. The Vectors are very similar to the Vertexes, just bigger as they are smallish floorstanders rather than standmounts. I have them siting next to Vivid Kaya 45s which are also phenomenal but the Kaya C35 center is not available yet. WB is neutral to maybe a hair forward which makes them radically warmer than the Paradigms that you just sold.
If you are planning on listening to two channel audio, a good integrated amp will improve performance in your front channels. The Classe is a nice amp but what the Marantz will usually miss having optimal gain for two channel and it is not uncommon for a combo like that to sound a little thin in two channel. Especially in Direct and Pure Direct.
Obviously, Legacy goes very well with legacy. If you opted for Wiloson Benesch, I would look at the AVM A 6.2ME integrated amp as the perfect Integrated to match with those speakers.
