In the NYC area I recommend Wes Bender Studios  in Brooklyn.  He is very friendly puts together great sounding systems (both tube and solid state )  and has great speaker lines :    Marten ,  Hansen ,Gamut to name several . I know none of them were on  your list but they are all excellent.  Wondering what your budget was it makes it easier to recommend speakers in your price range.

Just saw your last response . sorry for delayed response.  in your price range new speakers  which have been reviewed very favorably in Absolute  Sound are :Revel Performa 3F206,  Tannoy Revolution XT8F ,  Dynaudio Focus 260 . Keep in mind I nhave not  HEARD THESE speakers just reviews.
Wes Bender has a demo pair of Marten Form Floors which you can hear at his studio and I think also entry level speakers from Gamut. Wes was asking what electronics you use and cables and your room dimensions/? Here is link to see and hear the Martens:  Youtube.be/sD8WZvrcRDo  ..
A speaker which I have heard twice at length is Focal UtopIA Diablo , a  monitor speaker w/stands.  IT is really terrific and gives you a real taste of the high end. It might be out of your price range as it ratails for I think 13-16k and used is about 8500-9000.
