I'm ready to pull the trigger on some new speakers.looking for some last minute advice

Hey all,
I know that there are too many posts like this when it comes to buying speakers, and I know that the answer is 'what sounds best to me', but maybe there's something that I have overlooked. Maybe someone has had a bad experience, or has been blown away, etc.  I hope to buy one of these soon. I have an 80W NAD int amp and my room size is 14x12'
The speakers I've listened to in the last 3 days are :

Golden Ear Triton Two+ Tower
Paradigm 85F
KEF r700
B&Wcm10
revel F206
Focal Aria936

It's not easy to remember what one speaker sounded like when listening to a different one days later.
One dealer won't do an A-B comparison because he believes it's deceiving?
From what I've read, the Golden Ears are either loved or hated.

So any advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

I have the Aria 936 and I am very happy with them, paired with a Primaluna HP tube amplifier w/KT150s - 90+ watts/channel.  Similar size room as yours, speakers are 8' apart and 11' from listening position.

Listened to the cm 10s and Sonus faber and the the 936s were much better in my opinion.
