slinker, since you asked for input on your specific canditates, this joe blow offers the following:
1. psb synchrony is a great, well-balanced speaker with no discernible flaws and a very good value. the pmcs are also very, very good, with excellent low end extension, and would be my other top choice.
2. the proac response is also excellent; very lively; good rock and roll speaker; fussy about placement and might not sound good with your current denon receiver;
3. i personally don't like the b&ws.
4. the mls and the magnepans both need a ton of power and a sub; i think a more conventional dynamic design will serve you better.
5. i haven't heard the gershmans or zus, either; both get a lot of play on these forums and would certainly be worth checking out.
happy spending!!!
