Best Monitors for Rock N' Roll under $2500

Hi,
I'm looking for some suggestions for a great pair of monitors that work great with POP & ROCK music.

Here's my equipment:
Rotel 1080 amp
Rotel 1090 preamp
MMF-5 turntable
Rotel 1055 cd
Signal Cable power cords and interconnects
Anti-cable speaker wire
Richard Gray 600S

I'm currently using Aurum Cantus Leisure 2SE's. They sound fantastic with Jazz, Vocals, acoustic music but not the sound I'm looking for to handle my everyday listening; lots of New Wave, Punk, Classic Rock. Can anyone help?

Brands I'm considering:
Paradigm Signature series
JM Labs Electra 907 BE, 906
PSB Platinum 2's
Dnyaudio Contour 1.3SE

Thanks,
Robert

not monitors but I'd highly suggest you give Von Schweikert's VR-4JR (used) or the VR-2 (new). I solely listen to Rock and you just gotta have a full range speaker to truly enjoy it. I went from PSB Silvers to Vr-4 Gen III's and am in hog heaven.

If you really want monitors, they have the LCR 15's that can provide a fair amount of bass with that great Von Schweikert neutral sound.
