Best Budget Bookshelf Speakers?

I'm looking into buying bookshelf speakers for a bedroom system, and am trying to decided between PSB Image, Tannoy mX2, Wharfedale Diamond 8, Acoustic Energy Aegis 1, and B&W 303's. I'm currently running a Sony CD/MD deck through the Musical Fidelity X-10D, into an Onix A60 integrated amp, using Wharfedale Opal 30 speakers. Besides the speakers mentioned above, any other recommendations would be much appreciated (Mission, Diva, etc???). Thanks!

What about the wonderful Spica TC60's. These things throw a soundstage the size of Baltimore. Timbre is near perfect and they are not hard to drive. I mate mine with a sub and while they will not play at head banger levels. They are a wonderfully sane speaker for those who like all types of music. I see some on audiogon for $500 to 600. John Atkinson loved these things. I would look for a pair of these and a nice tube amp and die of exctasy.

Try listening to the Sound Dynamics RTS-3 Speakers from
Canada. The Speakers sound like the expensive stuff and
can be ordered on-line from Audio Advisor.

How long do you plan to keep them. The B&W 300 series are great speakers for the money and have excellent resale value if you get the urge to upgrade later.
