Speaker match for Simaudio W8/P8

I know speakers are very dependent on personal taste, but I'm looking to upgrade my speakers and would appreciate some advice from fellow agoners. My amp/preamp is the Simaudio W8/P8 (250W ss stereo amp). Current speakers are Dali Mentor 8s. I'm open to buying new or used, 15K or so price range. Considering Dali euphonia MS4/5, Sonus Faber Elipsa, Von Schweikert VR5 anniversary, Wilson Sophia 3/Sasha (a bit of a reach), Dynaudio Confidence C4. (Dynaudio seems to be paired with Sim at audio shows) or Eggleston Andra3
Room is about 22x18 with listening area 2/3rd of space, source currently is esoteric DV60. Please let me know what you guys think, and any other speakers I should consider. Thanks

I have a Simaudio W-7 with Dynaudio C1s, currently choosing between ARC Ref 5 and P-7 to match, and also looking at SF Elipsas. The great thing is, they're still on sale ($15,800).

I'm going to the Montreal show to listen to the Amati Futuras before making up my mind. And still dreaming about the !3s I heard at CES. The nice thing about SF -- they sound great with Simaudio. If you want more accuracy and less soul, and have a large room, I'd look at Dynaudio C4s too.
