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

Let me be the contradictor here .
As the owner of the De Capo i's , I think that they are indeed very nice speakers ! But they were designed , and in my opinion sound their best , with tube amplification .

I also don't think that you will enjoy the JM Labs . I have had the JM Lab/Rotel combination with your type of music .

It has been 2 years now ! What have you done ?
Mark And Daniels Rubys. Just finished a post on them, they are like floor standers in their output, phenonmenal bass and can handle tremendous dynamic passages. I listen to Pink FLoyd, The Who and Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.
I was very impressed with the Totem MANI-2 Signature. Totem uses Dynaudio drivers. Not many monitors out there that can hit 27hz like these.
Speaking of Mark and Daniels, don't they take a lot of work to sound right. I guess they need a lot of power, and they have to be out in the room a ways to sound their best? Not ideal for most living enviorments. I guess if you get those things worked out, they do sound great. How are they with tubes?
