Talon Audio Peregrine X
JM Labs Mini Utopia
Totem Mani II

The Talon Peregrine X will IMHO best all of the others on your list, however, I wouldn't quite call it a bookshelf speaker either. Don't forget about the Talon Khite, as you may be surprised at how it compares to the other speakers listed, it is Talon's true "bookshelf" (I have heard all of the speakers on your list except the JMR Trente).

Great list. My vote goes to the Sonus Faber Extrema, if you have enough power.

You may also want to look at the Piega line if you do not have unlimited power.

B&W silver signatures when set up properly were the best ive heard in small speakers. The system i heard was mega buck right down to the silver wars.
