Volent Paragon VL-2 or Monitor Audio Platinum?
If you can't go PL300 then I go Volent. 
Burmester B30 and 951 MK3
I've heard the B30 with the 911 it was very nice. 
Comments/opinions on Monitor Audio PL200's
I didn't particularly care for the PL200s, but I didn't spend much time with them. However their big brother the PL300 sounds pretty darn good. I would think a dealer would let the PL300 go at about 8k. They sounded good on almost every type of mu... 
Burmester 089
I have totally done the get up and answer the phone thing. Sadly I would rewind the movie a little and start the whole process again. I think it was on the fourth time that I realized nobody was hanging up on me. 
OPPO BDP 83 or Marantz UD 8004
I think I would go OPPO in this case for price/performance; however, if it were the Marantz UD 9004 I'd go Marantz

I'm think I'm going to save a few extra dollars and go with the B30. To me they seemed like a bargain. Plus I want them to double in a home theater as well and theres a matching center.

Over at the CES show I thought that the Burmester room sounded great and as funny as it sounds the B30s at 16k seemed like a deal. The Solution room playing through Magico M5s sounded great. Joseph Audio was showing Pearl through Bel Canto electro...

Thanks for your for your response. I to looked at the B25s in hopes they might touch on the magic of the B80s, they failed to please. I think there are much better sounding speakers in that price range, I dare not listen to the B100s.I love the lo...
