LSA-10 Statement - I would strongly avoid it  
Speakers for daughter
I concur with Monitor Audio too!   "Bose shouldn’t even be mentioned on this site!" wow :)  
Dynaudio Special 40
They are pretty awesome, I saw them as the demo speakers at several dealers. It they love them, they must be good.

Upgrade B&W CM4 to what?
that's a difficult price range for new speakers. I spent 4 months trying to find speakers for that amount and finally gave up, and jumped to $1600. (Happy ever since) Crutchfield and Safe & Sound has open boxes with steep discounts that might ... 
Please recommend speakers
totems or monitor audio, with a subwoofer until you get stands  
Big Below 15k used that can play loud as heck
what happens to your ears at that volume?  
Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood?
I never heard any of them but if you randomly reorder the list, I can tell you that #2 and #4 are terrible.
