Why do you need exact replacements for them? Why not upgrade? Try listening to many different speakers from different manufacturers and see if anything else suits you. I must admit Paradigm gives you some real value for your dollar. They have a very full line in the mid-fi to just about hi-fi range. Lots of choices.
Follow Ups:
I had two reasons for the post. One, I was just curious to see if anyone else owns or has heard of these speakers. They seem to be pretty rare, as I can't find a single reference to them on this or any othe board. That seems a little strange given how many people own Paradigm speakers. Second, I am trying to see how they would mate with a vintage tube amp (EICO, dynaco, etc.)
Your speakers will work just fine with a tube amp. A friend of mine drives his with an Anthem Integrated 1 (25w per), and they sound great.I'm assuming yours are stand mounted, have an 8 inch woofer and a 1 inch tweeter with an oval plastic mounting plate. Yes? If so, keep them. They're a very good speaker.
