Speaker Recommendation up to 70k

I have purchased SOTA swiss front end which I can't disclose. They are solid state. 
Got room treated , cables sorted , power supply regulated, a comfy couch and books to read for years. 

Now I need a pair of beautiful and lively speakers to get me up and dancing when the track calls for it. A SOTA speaker that is worthy of keeping for years. Room size is 25 sqm/ 269 sqft. 

Final contenders: 
- Zellaton 
- Stenhiem 
- Tidal- Marten- Wilson 
- Borresen

I don't need (you need to listen and decide) suggestions, I can't travel and we got no dealers with demos. So I'll have to rely on users honest opinions about each brand above and are they worthy of the cost. 

No electrostatics and no horns please. Appreciate if you know how to get the most benefit at the upper botique level of speakers. Some might look fabulous and sound meh. 

Let's discuss.

Stenheim Alumine 3 gets raves, and apparently do well in mid-size rooms.

The Vandersteen Kento and Seven intrigue me, but I’m a Vandy guy (I’ve heard the Quatro CT, and the Kento and 7 are more of that same goodness).

The Zellaton Stage is said to be amazing, but maybe over your price range?

Do you live in US or Europe/OCONUS? If I lived in Europe, I’d probably get EU made speakers like Stenheim or other.

A friend auditioned the Wilson Sasha DAW before he decided on Vandy Quatro CTs, but he likes the DAW.

Good luck... sounds fun!
