Magico VS Daedalus VS Marten VS Spendor


Guys, I would appreciate some help here please!!

I have just upgraded my electronics to:

Modwirght LS-100
Modwright KWI200 (as amp only)
Berkeley Audio DAC (v2) and USB
Basis 2200 with calibrator base, cable isolation and clamp
Lyra Titan i
Zesto Audio Andros Phono stage
Gingnko Cloub 14b for TT
Shunyata Hydra 8
Shunyata main power cord
Mostly Cardas Clear Light Cables for all my system

The speakers I have are Golden Ear Triton Two speakers. Although I have not heard a better speaker (since there are basically no high end dealers where I live) I believe that the Triton's are holding my system back in terms of naturality and resolution. I love the bass but I am sure that sometimes it is not as focused and tight as it should. Moreover, the mids and highs I find hard to categorize as natural. I love the imaging though.

I have some options for upgrading my speakers and, based on reviews, I have concluded:

Marten Django XL
Magico V3 (I got a really good offer from a guy that has a pair unboxed)
Daedalus (Athena or the new model Argos)
Spendor A9

Although very different speakers, the budget ranges from $9 to $15k and all of the options above fall into it.

I listen to everything. Classical, Jazz, Rock and Contemporary.

If any of you have some kind of advice, I would appreciate it very much.

My room is really small (3.5 X 3.5 mts) but I have the ASC tube trap and treble diffuser treatment so it is not too bad.

Thanks guys!

Your electronics would work very well with the Daedalus. You probably know that Dan Wright uses them as his references. All these are fine speakers, but the Daedalus have all the detail, yet are very comfortable and... well, natural. The sound more like real music than anything I've heard. I've never heard of anyone regretting their purchase.
