Spendor D9.2 vs. Harbeth super hl5 plus xd + REL Stentor III vs. Spendor Classic 100?

I am thinking of purchasing one of the following:

1). Harbeth SHL5 plus XD + REL Stentor III Reference Subwoofer due to lack of bass and low octave in bass.

2). Spendor Classic 100 - The bass is a bit noticeable and aggressive. 

3). Spendor D9.2.

My living room where the system will stand is: 5.5 meters x 8 meters, a standard ceiling of 2.7 meters and the entire construction is a 20 cm block. From the living room comes a 25 meters kitchen. The speakers I choose can stand up to about 1 meter from the front wall.

Anyone who has heard of at least 2 of them or a previous generation and can have an opinion on a comparison between them?

Thank you very much for your help.

I listened D9 and D7 on Montreal Show.
I remember D9 was driven by Chord amplifier and Chord Blu2/Dave CD source. 
The sound was very bright, scratchy and unnatural.
It was modern sound that is exactly opposite to typical Harbeth/Spendor sound that I like. 
If you like a real Spendor sound get SP100 or HL5.
If you like Focal or B&W sound you can consider D9.
