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.

HI,
I'M USING THE SHAMROCK EIRES W/GREAT SUCCESS. GREAT ALL AROUND BALANCE. PERFORM WELL ON ORCHESTRAL. JAZZ, ROCK, ETC. THEY ARE VERY REVEALING IN A MUSICAL WAY.
I'M USING A DODSON DAC, THETA TRANSPORT, FIRST SOUND PREAMP, BEDINI MONO AMPS.
ANOTHER MONITOR OF INTEREST IS THE SP TECHNOLOGY TIMEPIECE.

CORDIALLY,
