"So far, I've seen Monitor RX8, Tannoy Saturn S10 and Revel Concerta F-12's on here that look interesting."
I had the RX8's and I thought they were a great, all around speaker. If you like the way they sound, they would be an excellent choice. I haven't heard the Tannoy, but I did audition the Revel. They were OK but I would still take the MA. Its a much more fun speaker to listen to. In this price range, my personal favourite is the Vandersteen Model 1. If you've never heard them, you may want to try and demo them as well.
