Best Speakers new/used for around 2k

I'm looking for the best speakers for around 2k. I'd like your thougths or insight to speakers I've listed or any I might be missing. I listen to primarliy 50% 2 channel and 50% HT. The room is about 20 x 20 and has two openings. I have a Denon 2809 that I know I will have to either replace or upgrade with another Amp. I've heard just about all of these except the Gershman (but they get glowing reviews), 1.7 (obviously) and Zu.

1) PMC FB1i
2) Proac Response d18 or Studio 140
3) Spendor A6
4) PSB Synchrony One
5) Zu Druid
6) Gershman
7) Magnepan 1.7 (daughter's cat might shred)
8) B&W 804
9) Martin Logan Vistas
10)Sunfire CRM2

Thanks in advance. Any thoughts would be welcomed.

Best regards

Slinker - I just upgraded to Ohm Acoustics Walsh 2000. They are a little too expensive at $2800/pr, but the 1000 model comes in at $2000/pr. With a subwoofer, they would probably work well in your room. Cubic footage ranges for each model (without a sub) are listed on the Ohm web site. You get a 120-day in-home trial, and get all your money back, less shipping, if you don't keep them. I am very happy with mine, and I am keeping them. I bought a smaller pair of Ohm Walsh speakers as surrounds, and will eventually add the matching center channel. Especially without a sub, the Ohms do like a lot of wattage, though.
