Help me pick a monitor

I am moving into a smaller place and need to replace my Paradigm Studio 100s. I am a big fan of Paradigm, and am looking for an accurate monitor with punch (must be a monitor/bookshelf speaker I can put on a stand). My music taste favor acoustic guitar (I like a sweet mid-range) and some bass heavy stuff (Everthing But The Girl). I use an Anthem Amp 2 and a Sonic Frontiers Line 1. I can spend $2000 but less is better of course.

So far I am interested in:
1) Paradigm 40 v.3
2) Tyler Linbrook Ref Monitors
3) JM Lab Cobalt Monitors

Please give some advise, especially if you have experience with the ones I have mentioned.

Here are some older choices. Acoustic Energy AE1, AE2 and Platinum Solo,all designed by Phil Jones, who is also a bass player. They are not terribly efficient, but if you have a smallish room and/or listen in the nearfield they will definitly get the job done. If you like canadian speakers consider PSB Sratus Minis. And everbody's all time favorite the Spica TC 60's.
You can then take the $1000 to $1500 you just saved and buy more music. Enjoy.
