The Signature series look very strange. The horrible center speaker design and the drivers are not embedded to the front panel. That will cause sonical reflections from the edges of the drives, why did they do them that way? does it not matter?
I would forget the CM series and try out the 705 and the M20 wich is really amazing. Nautilus 805 is a worthy competitor to the M20.
I looked at the Paridigm Signature 2 on their website and they resemble the B&W design of the tweeter sitting above the cabinet. Frankly I have never liked that design, it's too weird and ugly for me. These speakers are probably too expensive to go with a Denon 2805 anyway. Try the Monitor and Studio series and you'll find plenty of very good choices. You might also give some thought to PSB.
The Energys should be fine too, but I dont really like the 3-way design with the additional crossovar points. Maybe it doesn't matter, but I still rather would have a 2-way with a very low crossover point so the transfer between drivers wont be audible.
I have the 2805 and I am using Paradigm mini monitors v3 as fronts, paradigm Titans v3 for rear and CC-370 center and it sounds sweet. I don't think you will have any problem with Paradigms.
