speaker choice help below $800

I think I am going crazy trying to find even a starting point for speakers. It seems everytime I come up with a couple that might fit the bill, I loose focus some how! :-)
Anyway, if some of you could give me some sort of guidance for what to look at I would appreciate it.
A few that have piqued my curiosity during research are:
Pinnacle Gold Reference
Dynaudio Audience 50/52
Various B&W's - DM, CM, CDM etc...
NHT 2.5i

My current system consists of:
Roksan Caspian Int.
Rega Planet2000 CDP
I am currently 'borrowing' a pair of B&W DM602-S1 and they need to go back to their owner.
I listen to primary British indie/pop music, both guitar driven and electronica style (gotta love the 80's!)
I would like to keep the price below $800 new/used if possible. It doesn't matter whether they are floorstander or bookshelf.

TIA,
Matt

Paradigm Studio Reference 60. Amazing little speaker, easy to find, and very easy to enjoy. You should be more confused after posting your question than you were before but anyway.... Good luck! Arthur

I'm with Arthur, Paradigm Reference are great speakers for the money. I've got a pair of AAD bookshelf speakers...they are designed by Phil Jones of AE1 and Platinum Solo fame...might want to give them a look.
