Looking for speaker recommendations


I am trading in my PMC Twenty5.26’s and looking for new speakers. My room is 15 ft. L x 12 ft. W with a 8 ft. ceiling. The speakers will be driven by Metaxas Solitaire monoblocks and a Devialet 200 pre-amp. Some speakers that I can get in my price range are:
B&W 804 D3
Legacy Audio Signature SE
Paradigm Persona F3
Vivid Audio B1
Joseph Audio Perspectives
Dynaudio Contour 60
Magico A3
I am looking for a greater soundstage and bottom end slam while maintaining the clarity of the PMC’s. I listened to the B&W’s and Paradigms and preferred the B&W’s. Not sure if any of the other speakers would be too much for my room or not? Any comments on these speakers would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Just some more info about my system and room. The room is fully furnished and carpeted. Speaker placement can only be 12 to 18 inches off the back wall and about 7 ft apart. I am using a April Music Aura Vita cd player and Bluesound Node 2 with Spotify as my sources. Thanks for the replies so far.
smer319,
Where do you live ? Whats your budget.

I live in Manitoba, Canada. Budget would be $9000 US max or $12,000 CDN.
A bit of an update... I had my dealer come to my house to see my space. He said that the speakers I have listed are too big for my room. That was the problem with the PMC's. I wasn't maximizing their potential. He suggested some good standmounts would work much better. I am now looking at :
Joseph Audio Pulsars and the Focal Diablo Utopia III'S.
 Anybody have any experience with these speakers? Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Well I decided on the Joseph Audio Pulsars 2 Graphene's. Unbelievable speakers. I added a PMC Twenty sub and this combo is much better than my old PMC Twenty5.26's. Just sounds better in my room. Now into amplification.
