Speakers for Ayre ax-7e -- Vadersteen, Linn, PSB

I know this is a frequent advice question but I still value the numerous opinions I have read and seek more advice. I have assembled a nice initial Ayre audio setup -- AX-7e integrated amp and C-5xemp with balanced interconnects. This setup is currently connected to some old low end speakers - so I need to upgrade. I have read, received advice, etc. about the following speakers with the above setup:
-- Vandersteen 2ce sigII
-- PSB synchrony one
-- Linn Majik Isobariks
-- Thiel 2.4

the room setup is the following -- wood floors and high ceilings in Living Room, have good amount of furniture and a few thick oriental rugs, but still a lot of bare floor including where the speakers will sit. Approximate size is 14' x 24'. As this is the nicest sitting area in the house changing rooms not an option.

By the way have tested some BWs and Polk that just did not cut it. Also will check out a pair of Sonus Faber demo Cremonas from local dealer.

Thanks for your feedback!

Any concern of the 2ce SigIIs being too bright in my space (lots of hardwood, high ceilings) or do you feel they are a pretty rich sound speaker (not to bright). This is one of the reasons I am considering the new Linn Majic Isobariks - strong bass presense.

Thanks for your feedback -- definately keeping the Sig IIs top of mind!
