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

Your English is very good, why do you say it is not ?
I like Harbeth sound too but that's me. What kind of music do you listen to most ?
Now, some members here will call me names for this but..
If you have pretty good headphones and good sound card in your computer, listen to some speakers on youtube. If recording is not bad it might give you some ideas. For example, you can clearly hear the difference between, say, Harbeth, Paradigm and Focal. Harbeth and Spendor are not too far apart, more difficult. Just don't listen to Lansche/Ypsilon and Kharma/Lamm systems, if you do you might not want anything else. But I think Harbeths convey a lot of an essence of music despite their shortcomings.
