what are the characteristics of your room?

bright and reflective or absorbing and mellow?

the B&W's which are very forward may be a bit bright in a very reflective room

the Paradigm's which are a little warmer work better in a highly reflective room

THe B&W's are a slight bit more revealing

have you listened to the Van Schwiekert VR 4's?

I would position the speakers along the long dimension of the room if possible (I have a 15 by 27 room myself)
