Replacing my stand mount speakers


My first post here. I have decided to replace my 9 years old Paradigm Signature S4 v2 (which I enjoy) with new big stand mount speakers (no room for stands, mounted on a furniture).
I like my speakers but I want an significant upgrade. 
Since it's impossible here to compare among different brands and models I'd like to be helped by your experience to direct me to a limited list.
My source is 220 w/c 8 ohms all in one AVM "reciever".
On my list:
ELAC ADANTE AS-61
AURUM CANTUS VOLLA mk2
scm 19?
pmc 25.22?
more?
Budget 2500-3000 USD
Sorry for the limited language

kubarony, did you have the S4's on stands? The reason I ask, a few years ago I bought a pair of Studio 10's, which I loved. I had them sitting on a pair of old speakers to raise them up. After several months, I bought the J29 stands, and was amazed at how much the sound improved.
All that being said, there are a pair of Persona B's for sale here on the site, new in sealed boxes, but pre-owned and discounted.
Good luck
