There are a number of quite good online speaker manufacturers. AV123's Rockets have a very loyal following, and Aperion has also done very well. SVS (formerly SV Subwoofers, no SV Sounds) is coming out with a speaker line that has some good buzz around it. If you like Paradigm's Monitor series, you might also look at Axiom Audio - another Canadian speaker company that would probably be very remiscent of the Monitor line to your ear.
