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.

I don't know what your price range is but I am told by a number of my well learned audiophile friends that the kharma 3.2 is hard to beat- and considering its a monitor that makes it even more impressive. The verity parsifal(not encore just the monitor top) is an outstanding little speaker though it doesn't have enough bass performance to satisfy me.

Try the Reference 3A DeCappo's. Most simliar-but-better that I can think of.

Put the Revel M20s on your list. With killer stands you'll go to heaven. I love mine....

I've heard the 805's numerous times. Very nice sounding speaker, of course, depending on what you have in front of them. I was in the market very recently for the same thing. I opted for the M20's and they should be delivered this morning. I don't think I will be disappointed.
