The best bookshelf speaker

Check out the Paradigm Active 20. It is an incredible speaker. Look at the reviews on Audioreview.com

I owned the Mani's and thought they were very good as long as powered properly. I have also owned SF Electa Amator 1's JM lab Mini Utopia's and JM Reynaud Offrande's. I think these are also all very good speakers.
I currently own the Piega P2ltd and in the context of my system and my tastes these are my favorite. I am quite smitten.
I would strongly encourage you to seek an audition.

Unfortunately, Platinum is no longer in business.

What about the Revel M20?

thanks for your responses. But if I can find a pair of the platinum audio reference would they be a contender. Also does anybody know about the Tyler Linbrook monitors. How would they compare with the rest of the good monitors out there.
