Speakers for room size that provide greater detail.

I’m looking at replacing my Wharfedale Super Lintons. The room size is 24’ length, and 14’ wide. Ceilings are 12’. My current listening distance is 15’ from my speakers. I have 2 Rel Classic 99 subs, running through a Rotel RA1592. Used for only playing music.
Want a speaker that is resolving at lower and loud volumes. Speakers that are more resolving than the Super Lintons at louder the volumes specifically. I am currently looking at the Kef R11 Meta, Kef Reference 1 Meta and Wharfedale Elysian 2. I would prefer a stand mount speaker. But open to a floor standing. Besides the speakers I’ve mentioned looking for other recommendations that I can read up on and demo in person. Thanks in advance.

Philharmonic BMR HT Towers—their resolution keeps up with $50K^ speakers.

Friends had magnepans up to the 20.7. I never liked them as well as box speakers.  1 of my friends did sell his 20.7 to move to a box speaker.

i have revel speakers in a couple of systems. For your size of room, I would go for a used pair of revel salon 2’s. Much better than the usher md2, and dynaudio. 
Your rotel will be holding you back. When I had a room that was 27 x 16 x 15’ tall, I had the top of the line Classe monoblocks to power my Revels and large ushers.

Pure Audio Project  So musically detailed and efficient.  My son said it was the first time it actually felt like an acoustic guitar was in the room.  Also have Thiels and Ohm Walsh speakers which sound good, but the PAPs are great.

For that size room getting a speaker with a larger driver will move more air and sound more effortless, dynamic and imo real. Open baffles like spatial and PAP are good choices. I’d also look into Fyne audio. Listening to a pair of F502s’s right now in 16x20x12 room that opens to more space and they sound amazing for $3500. Sound gets even better if you move up the range. I got these about 6 months ago to see if I like their sound and I’m likely moving up to the 703sp’s in a couple months.
