Best Bookshelf/Monitor in $2000 range??

Go to Soundstage (or ecoustics.com) to find a review of the PSB M2. At the end of the article there is a comparison between the M2 and the Paradigm S2.

I'm not advocating these over the others on your list, since I've never heard any of those you've listed. But it should help to point out differences between the M2 and S2.

Maxxc,
Thanks for the tip.......If you haven't heard the new Platinum
M2's their really good PSB has really entered the world of audiofile speakers with this line, not only do these look fantastic but sound awsome!

I recommend them for anyone shopping under $2500.

Check out the Reference 3a Dulcets if you get the chance; one potent, musical little speaker with a special, direct-to-the-music sound.

If you are handy, you can make one for less! Try a scan speak kit. You can google search for them. I am making a proac 2.5 for about $600. Kits are easier still. These places have kits. Vifa woofers are good - scan speak better still - richer and more echo to the sound.

Try to audition the Hyperion HPS-906. I have the bigger brother and listen to the same genre of music as you do.
