I have Paradigms too.  Nice speakers, but very
boomy.  PSB speakers are too mushy for my tastes. 
B&W very nice (check the 802).  In the
intermediate price range, the best thing around
$1000 are Snells.  I think Snell went out for home
theater a while ago, but don't be scared away. 
Their speakers are crisp, tight, and detailed. 
Nice strong bass without being too boomy.  If you
like Paradigms, you should check out Snells.
