Advice requested on speakers

I'd appreciate your thoughts...I'm looking at Vandersteen Quattro Woods, 5a's, Revel Ultima Studio 2's, Focal 1037BE's to pair with my AR VT100iii. Speakers will need to be close to the front wall, on the long wall of a 19' x 14' x 9' room. I listen to classical (orchestral and smaller), jazz, acoustic instrumentals, vocals, and some rock. I prize full range, timbral accuracy, and soundstage and speakers need to pair well with my amplification. I'm disinclined to rear ports, or I'd also be considering Sophia 2's, Verity's, VR Sr's...Thanks for all your help.

If you can afford 5As, I would say go for it.
100wpc is more then enough for Vandys and AR is a well know preferences with these speakers.

I would also like to touch on "in room placement flexibility" with an 11-band equalizer - standard feature on 5A and Quatro Wood version speakers.
It allow the best integration to be obtained with the owner's room acoustics and you can not take it for granted if the room placement and acoustics are of any importance to you.

Just my 2c

Good luck
