The speakers on your list are too small IMO, they are all bookshelf speakers. Your NAD M33 can drive a good set of full range floorstanding speakers, the KEF Reference 3 or B&W 804 D4.

My favorite bookshelf speakers are Wilson Audio Tune Tots. If you can't get those, the B&W 805 D4 would be my choice.

The paradigm persona b is really impressive. They do need to be a few feet away from reflective surfaces to stay smooth.

If you are happy with Kef sound signature, stay with Kef and go up to Reference series. Focal has different sound signature, Sopra 1 looks small but need a space well placed, then this “small” bookshelf act as a floor stand. Otherwise, adding sub into your current setup will gain from what you get already. You may play and fine your current setup with stands, isolation, accoustical room treatment and you will be surprised how much is hidden even in your current potential.
