Spendor D9, Proac D48R or Devore 0/93?

I have a dilemma - I am trying to upgrade my current Proac D30Rs and my following choices are:

Spendor D9
ProAc D48R
Devore Orangutan O/93

I have a 11 X 13" acoustically modified  - rather damped room. Amplification is Ars Sonum Grand Filarmonia - 60 Watts, eight EL34 tubes working in class A.

Let me know your thought - I prefer warmer - non fatiguing sound that allows for long listening session of Davis' trumpet...Listening to Jazz, female vocal, rock...

Thanks!

I make the assumption that reasonable effort will be made to hear the 3 speakers of interest. Feedback from other listeners can be helpful but of course nothing equals hearing them yourself.

In my opinion the higher efficiency Devore O/93 is potentially an exceptionally good choice. An easy (10 ohm load nominal) to drive speaker(and high sensitivity relative to the other 2 choices you named) with a high quality class A tube push pull amplifier would provide beautiful sound and allow your amp to relax and coast with the 10 ohm impedance (nice!). I believe it’s worth the effort to give this pairing serious consideration. Jazz music should soar with this type of match.
