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 have listened and owned many speakers (Thiel, Avalon, Dynaudio, etc.). I currently own the latest edition of the Talon Firebird Diamonds. I purchased them because they sound like music. I have listened to the Wilson 5, 6 and 7, they have never in any system sounded like music to me. I will never understand the cult following. The bass seems to bounce around the cabinet and the treble is only tolerable in short burst. I don't know... Rockport speakers have always sounded musical to me. Maybe it was the system that made them sound rubbery. I guess each person has there own personal set of biases. I have the Talon's for now at some point in the future I am going back to look at the Rockports again. Andy Payor and Michael Farnsworth are first class guys, for me that is also very important.
