I wouldnʻt buy any of them. With that kind of budget, Iʻd pitch out everything I had and drop $16k on a set of the Dutch & Dutch 8c. Done.
$35000 to $40,000. speakers what would you buy and why?
I am contemplating purchasing my End game speakers. The ones that catch my eye are the Magico M3, Magico M project, Stenheim Alumine 5se, Rockport Cygnus and the Songs Faber Amati Homage G5. My system consists of An Aurender N20 feeding a MSB Technology Premier Dac with Premier powerbaye. Preamp duties are handles by An Audio Research Reference Anniversary and amplification is a pair of Lamm M 2.2 mono blocks. I currently have Magnepan 3.7i's. I love their transparency and inner detail but they do not play in the low registers. I do not want separate subs.... My room is mediums sized. I listen to mostly soft pop, classical and some light rock. I am trying to walk the thin line of tranparency vs musicality. I would enjoy some suggestions and some sound reasoning behind members choices in speakers. I do not want this to morph into a bashing thread. Please stay on topic.

I'd suggest auditioning the Songer S1x and the YG Hailey 3. The Songer is a single driver active field coil speaker with no cross over and excellent phase coherence, and YG has done a lot of work on their version 3 reference line to improve phase coherence. As the Tone Audio review says, the Songer S1x is one of the “top ten speakers you should hear before you die” kind of speakers. The YG might be available used in your price range, and the S1x is within your price range new with the Show/WBF discount of 15% that Ken offers. I had the original Amati Homage, and they were amazing but not my endgame.
