help narrowing down my list of speakers, $2500

Hi, I will be buying some speakers shortly. I will have them paired with an Odyssey dual mono amp (plenty of power), Tempest (Odyssey) preamp, Ridge Street Audio interconnects and speaker cable, and an Audio Aero Prima cd player. Also I will be adding a sub soon, so bass shouldent be the deciding factor here. I have a small room (12' x 12') and my budget is $2500. I went to listen to some B&W's at the dealer and like what I heard from the Naut. 804's. Wide soundstage, clear, detailed, musical. Im looking for speakers like that. I usually listen to rock (old and new) so I want speakers that can handel that. My choices so far are:
-Dynaudio
-Vandersteen
-Avalon
-Totem
-Sonus Faber
-Aerial Acoustics
-Dali
-Merlin
-Silverline
-Vienna
-Spendor
-Tyler Acoustics
-B&W
-PMC OB-1

Any you think I should add to that list? Suggestions on what to take off? Thanks

-Jamie

Evita/ I think he or she is doing a preliminary research.

He or she need to narrow down a bit on his or her list based on the paper research, then can go and listen those narrowed down list of maybe 3-5 choices. Cerntainly can't listen all of them

That's what I did and am doing for my gears.

I was in your situaiton and I was considering many in your list... I might settle with JM Lab this time.

This is widening your choice rather than narrowing down but,
You might want to consider Soliloquys and Von Schweikerts

Von Schweikerts Jr4 can be pick up at pretty good price these days!
