Want to Upgrade Speakers from Paradigm

I have had my Paradigm Signature 6 version 3's since 2012 and I am getting the upgrade bug.  The honest main motivation is I am tired of their looks: outrigger feet; the gray plates; cherry veneer.  I do like their slim low profile.   I am pretty happy with the sound but I am sure they are not the end all of speakers.  I spent $6K for them and adjusted for inflation, that is about $7.2K today.  However, I believe high end audio does not follow inflation and increases at a much higher rate.  So my question is how much in your opinion would I need to spend today to better the sound.  I really like the looks of the Sonus Fabers such as the Olympica Nova 3 which retail at $13,500.  How would my Paradigms compare to them or maybe Revels?

Thank you!

Rest of my equipment is Benchmark DAC3 and AHB2 amp with Macbook as streamer.

After Studio 100's versions 1 and 2 then S8's, two preamplifiers and an embarrassing number of amplifiers I realized I'm one of the dumbest hackiest persons here to make a speaker suggestion.

If you're able to keep your Paradigm's I'm certain you'll be able to hear their signature house sound by direct comparison. Within the first minutes even my family could hear it. While not as prominent, I heard it in their newest high dollar line. 
To be fare the used replacements were quite a bit more expensive but its been years since I've spent any significant money on equipment. All the electronics I went through were actually quite good with the replacements. I kept the tubes.

Good luck with your journey.
