I heard the Paradigm 100's yesterday and compared them to MONITOR Audio Gold which was a richer sound at a higher price. I probably like the 100's better but that is subjective. The rep seemed to be pushing the Monitors.

I then heard the Martin Logans which had a much more detailed sound and different sound stage. And of course a bigger price.

In the end the 100's seem wonderful and I don't think I could justify spending more.

The Rockets have been compared favorably to the 100's. The 100's have more bass extension but the reviewed liked Rockets in other areas.

Now there are the REF1 and REF2 to compare which are brighter and more neutral than the lush Rockets.

The RF7's are more dynamic with a bigger sound stage but also brighter and a bit harsh without good amplification and sources. many like tubes for the horns.

I think the new 7100 would be all the power you would need with the Klipsch.

I like the older Klipsch because they are cheaper and many seem to prefer them. I haven't A/B'd them because price was the factor.
