Active Speaker Choice
You can take a look at Meridian DSP speakers.  If you are open to buying a set used, the floor standing DSP5000s have plenty of bass for their size.  Depending on budget, you could also look to the DSP5200s which are the newer model. 
Band of an instrumental piece played in march 1971 on a FM station from Muncie, IN?
Could it be New York Rock & Roll Ensemble's track called Brandenburg?  I think the album Faithful Friends was released in 1967. 
HELP! Large speakers fell over during shipping.
I would return them- a lot of extra work and worry that you did not agree to when you purchased the speakers. 
Magic returns in seldom used bookshelves?
You may be really sensitive to driver time alignment?  Some people like smaller speakers since they tend to time really well.  Why not keep and enjoy both?

Suggestions for replacing Lexicon RV8
While you are researching the Meridian options, have a look at reviews of their Trifield music processing mode for 3 channels (L, C, R).

SACD player/streamer with built-in Volume Control
You can connect it via USB to your computer for any of those. Another popular configuration is using it as an audio endpoint for Sooloos (with a core and store) or Roon. I am using mine with a Meridian Media Core 600 and Tidal. 
SACD player/streamer with built-in Volume Control
@alecela, Yes, this is exactly what I was thinking.  You could go with used 818v1 (one was for sale several months ago asking $2200) and get the Oppo and come well under budget.  I saw an 818v3 lowest advertised price used was asking in the ballpa...
