Nice short list you have put together and good to hear that you were able to listen to all on them. Surely something struck you about each when you auditioned?
FWIW, here is my take of them. Focal, B&W too bright for my tastes. Always thought Kef were a little weak in the bass dept. Have heard high praise for the Tritons but mixing active subs in a passive system reminds me a Def Techs which I never liked for music applications. I am sure the Tritons sound great but their design would steer me away - yeah I know, my own built-in bias. But we all have them.
But I never heard a Revel I didn't like. Also a friend has a pair of F12 Concertas that I have spend a lot of time with. Very smooth, musical speaker. So I gotta believe the new F206 Performa3's sound even better. This would be my first choice if looking for a well balanced, musical speaker. Good luck!
