Not familiar with item 3 on your list; that withstanding, I believe you have them in the proper order. Each is a step up over the other in terms of resolution, finese, pace, and detail. Search the archives and I belive you'll find a number of comments regarding Simaudio and Dynaudio as being a very nice match. I run my I5 with Joseph Audio monitors and while I still have lots work to do in the room treatment/speaker placement areas, my current setup is very good. Maybe not world class, but having gotten the components at a fraction of retail cost here on the 'gon, I am very satisfied.
