LSA-20 Statements are available here new discounted to $4500/pr (normally $7k) and, very importantly, offer a 30-day, in-home trial. They’re only 39.5” tall and 9.5” wide but will go down to 25Hz and will likely be a considerable improvement over your Paradigms in virtually every area. These may be a very good fit for you for many reasons. They’re sold direct so offer very good value for what you’re getting.
There are a couple pairs of Nola KOs available here now that love tubes and will bring a very impressive and “live” feel to music with their dipole midrange/tweeter arrays, and they’re only 4’ tall and not very wide so not too imposing. Used Joseph Audio Perspectives are a fairly easy load for an amp and will also be a significant sonic upgrade in every way. They are very attractive with a small footprint (i.e. very wife friendly) if you can stretch to $6k, and you also have the option to upgrade to the new Graphene drivers if you want even more down the road. Lastly, there’s a pair of Usher CP-8571s with Diamond tweeters available on US Audio Mart for $4500. They’re not very tall or wide and they’re downright gorgeous end-game-type speakers, but they’re quite deep and weigh 250 lbs if you can swallow that. Hope this helps, and best of luck in your search.
