Speaker suggestions.

I lost the sub for my Monsoon MM1000's recently from lightning and I need some new $300ish speakers to tide me over till I splurge for a whole new setup(I'm going with a separate integrated amp/bookshelf monitors later.) The speakers will be playing through a Mac G4 via a Griffin iMic. I liked the sound of my MM1000's a lot. I've heard the Klipsch Promedia BTW and prefer the sound of the Monsoons for my listening tastes. So the list that I am looking at is:
-Monsoon PM 14's or older MM1000's
-Swans M200's (maybe add a Klipsch SWS sub?)
-Acoustic Energy Aego One

I only need 2.1 and listen to mostly jazz, ambient trance, classical and light R&B music. I mix in a lot of older rock as well so the 8" sub in the PM14's is appealing.

Has anyone had a chance to listen to all of these? What were your impressions?

Thanks for any input,

Scott

Scott,
I have not heard any of the speakers you mention. I continue however to be absolutely amazed by the quality of sound from the Paradigm Atom. My wife commented after selling our $11,000 pair of electrostatic loudspeakers that the Atoms (set up to hold me over until my new speakers arrived) sounded almost as good as the stats. They retail for $190 a pair. Amazing value!!!!!!!!
