Just a suggestion, before spending the money to upgrade the Paradigms, give new cables a try, they may achieve the change in sound characteristics you are looking for at a minimal cost to the pocket. I second the comment regarding the size of your mucis collection, bravo. All too often I have had friends that have spent all their $$ on gear, not that that is a bad thing, but when it leaves you little reserve $$ for a diverse music collection I strongly believe that one is limiting the potential enjoyment of the system they have built. I have also recently ventured into the world of vinyl and besides the difficulity of getting solid recordings love the direction this has taken me. Give new cables a shot as the Paradigms are hard to beat without throwing mucho $$$ at a pair of speakers that may excell in one area but leave you feeling short in others. Good luck.
