What would be an ideal or decent set-up for an apartment?
What size room are well talking about...living room...bedroom? How large of a budget?

Well its not huge so maybe (and I'm guessing cause I havent moved in yet lol) 11x16? and the price range is a varieble cause Im willing to get it in pieces but I would say not over 600. Im just trying to find something decent without having to use a woofer....some nice left and right speakers with some good mid maybe?

The Klipsch have bright highs, so unless that is your taste, you'll want to pair them with a warm/smooth amp. The Paradigms are natural, open, and warmer....not as harsh on the highs.
