Speaker Recommendation up to 70k

I have purchased SOTA swiss front end which I can't disclose. They are solid state. 
Got room treated , cables sorted , power supply regulated, a comfy couch and books to read for years. 

Now I need a pair of beautiful and lively speakers to get me up and dancing when the track calls for it. A SOTA speaker that is worthy of keeping for years. Room size is 25 sqm/ 269 sqft. 

Final contenders: 
- Zellaton 
- Stenhiem 
- Tidal- Marten- Wilson 
- Borresen

I don't need (you need to listen and decide) suggestions, I can't travel and we got no dealers with demos. So I'll have to rely on users honest opinions about each brand above and are they worthy of the cost. 

No electrostatics and no horns please. Appreciate if you know how to get the most benefit at the upper botique level of speakers. Some might look fabulous and sound meh. 

Let's discuss.

Appreciate the advise, unfortunately I am in middle east, where we just look at deserts and enjoy riding camels and horses. There is one dealer over here and he only demonstrates Sonus Faber and Wilson sub 10k range. He is not interested to bring top ranges for demonstration and it is by purchase only (non returnable) too. It is as good as a blind purchase with local dealers since they dont offer returns or trials. Same goes for cables and everything else. 

This is the worst era of audio business in our region during Covid. They got greedy because of some wealthy blind buyers who made this practice profitable for them. For me i hate to say it but i got no option but to follow a blind buy, but heck, i am not going to settle with sonus or wilson but decide after i read most of the opinions here. 

I hope you understand my position.

There was a dealer in Cyprus who advertised on A'gon that sold great gear and is very close to your location. I would not be surprised if he allowed some home demos given the close proximity to you. Just search on A'gon or google.

10 pairs of Moabs?       Not.

You could travel back to civilisation for a few days and audition the contenders?  70 large is a lot to lay down on the opinion of people like me.

I Wish, it would solve many things and i wouldn't have to write lengthy texts on the internet. 

Can we exclude traveling please? i'd like to hear owner's opinions of their speakers and compared to the brands i listed. if you can't, you may enjoy reading with me, there are some brilliant recommendations in here. 

Especially Zellaton, they are rare to find, let alone rare to compare with others.
