Wilson Audio, Talon, Rockport and B&W

It's been fun after trying out some gears and cables in my system and see how each differ from one another.
Now come to the point that I might need to do my final upgrade... the big showcase of all... the mouth as some will say...
I have all those speakers on my next upgrade list.

Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 7
Talon Firebird
Rockport Merak II/ Sheritan II
B&W Signature 800

I have heard great things about those speakers and wondering if anybody have any real life experience with above speakers?
Which of the speaker provide better bottom end, detail bass, big sound stage and still very balance in all area without colored? ( I mean, at their price, they shouldn't have any weak points in any area...right?...)

any thoguhts/experiences on the speakers will be greatly appreciated.

I did extensive listening recently to the new B & W 800D's.A very nice speaker with a much more coherent sound than the old 800's. I thought that they had very tubby, loose bass. I also did a lot of listening to the VR 9 SE's at the recent CES. Those are breathtaking speakers, but at 60k a pop, they should be. I currently have Dynaudio Temptations which have a beautiful, clear coherent sound, but really like the REL Stentor which I recently added. If I had unlimited funds, and a big room, I would buy the VR9's in a heartbeat. Since I don't, I am very happy with the Dyn's (for now). I don't know anyhting about the VR7's but they are certainly worth a listen.
