Man you are all over the place here. These are all so different I have to assume you haven't heard them all or you'd already have a preference or at least ruled one out. One thing I'll say about Linn is if you like it you like it a lot and if you don't you don't. Kind of like The Doors. They may also not open up with your current amplification, so that's something to consider as well.

I have not heard Tyler Acoustics yet, but I've also never heard anyone say anything bad about them either, and that is extremely rare. Lots of stuff out there competes well with Monitor Audio.

Without knowing what you're looking for in speakers or how much you want to spend it's tough to make any specific recommendations. That said, there is absolutely no substitute for going out and listening for yourself using your music, and better yet, bringing speakers home(once you find the ones you really like) to see how they sound in your room with your equipment. This will do more for you than any recommendation you'll get here, and your answer will become obvious fairly easily, especially with speakers which are so personal to begin with. Best of luck.
