changing from monitors to florrstanding speakers

i currently own a pair of sonus faber concertos an a rel strata sub III, but i am planning on changing to floorstanding 3-way speakers, and eliminate the sub. my current options are: (budget is $3500-$4000)
-thiel 2.4
-vandersteen 3a
-b&w n804

i have audition all of them and so far i have not been able to choose one, can somedoby who has experience with this speakers recomend??
i listen to jazz, female vocals, and some classical.
my room is 16 x 12 with very high celings 12 ft.

ppel,
I'd give you the advice that replacing your current setup with some of the towers you mentioned will get you better sound. However, I think that you will loose a lot of the low bass you have now with the REL. I do not know about you but the first time I heard real full-range sound from two speakers a revelation. So, if you can buy used maybe and find something that goes down to 30hz flat. I'm at the point that I'd choose full-range sound over a very refined midrange any day, especially since like me you listen to classical. I wish you the very best listening.
