Best bookshelf speaker reccomendations?

I currently have the platinum solos (hence my screen name) and have been considering upgrading them in the near future. I love them, but am just curious to see if anyone out there has moved on or has some relevant comparisons. On my list are the following:

AAD 2001 (phil jones new replacements for platinum)
Wilson benesch ARC
B&W 805 signature version
Revel GEM or M20
JM Lab micro utopia
Piega P-?

Currently evolving system: CEC TL2X and monarchy DAC (to be replaced by audio logic 2400 or similar), Pass X150 and soon to be X2.5 preamp.

*edit*

I meant to say that I listened to the mini utopias, but I haven't heard the micros. Sorry about that (knew I shoulda previewed that first!).

Sound Dynamics 300ti. There is/was a pair for sale here on the 'gon. No, they are not mine. I own a pair for my second system.

Vik-

Can you elaborate on the Dynaudio special 25, I had actually forgotten to add it to my list. Why don't u think it is a good match?

Thanks!

Right now i have B&W CDM 7nt's. I was thinking of upgrading them.... I think my system has evolved and they have become the weakest link. I have always owned B&W. I was considering a Rel sub and Naut 805's. Since I want to buy used ..I can't demo many speakers. Any reccomendations at this price point? I have listened to the Revel M20s and actually didn't care for them. This is actually a plea for advice! What should I do!?!?

Spendor 3/5 or 3/1 P. Beautiful music, not hi-fi. You'll have trouble listening to anything else, unless you need hyper detail in which case the Spendor is not for you.
