Looking for speaker recommendations


I am trading in my PMC Twenty5.26’s and looking for new speakers. My room is 15 ft. L x 12 ft. W with a 8 ft. ceiling. The speakers will be driven by Metaxas Solitaire monoblocks and a Devialet 200 pre-amp. Some speakers that I can get in my price range are:
B&W 804 D3
Legacy Audio Signature SE
Paradigm Persona F3
Vivid Audio B1
Joseph Audio Perspectives
Dynaudio Contour 60
Magico A3
I am looking for a greater soundstage and bottom end slam while maintaining the clarity of the PMC’s. I listened to the B&W’s and Paradigms and preferred the B&W’s. Not sure if any of the other speakers would be too much for my room or not? Any comments on these speakers would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

B&W are not the speakers of yester year. Quality Control not that great. They used to be handmade now they are available at Best Buy

For the money Look at Focal 1038 BE and above.
Any time a company is purchased by a conglomerate that is more interested in profit than sound the quality suffers 

B&W is no exception 

Years ago all Sonus Faber speakers were built by hand In Italy not any more

That is why companies like Pass Labs and PS Audio build to a higher standards because it’s about quality of the sound

some people believe this is what happened to  MAC as well.
