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 agree with Swampwalker about the B&W's.

If you were to go used, you can get substantially more of a full-range speaker, i.e. Von Schwiekert VR-4 Gen III SE's, Aerial Acoustic model 10T's, etc..

I have the Aerial 10T's. When I finally found the right amp to drive them, I stopped using a subwoofer and haven't looked back.
