Which speaker among Dali, Dynaudio and Acoustic Energy should I choose?

Greetings to all, 
I am considering to upgrade my 20-year old speaker, the Audio Pro Black Diamond.
Recently I came across 3 models under clearance from different dealers which are heavily discounted and for which I am unable to audition due to the on-going pandemic. They are
 
1) Dali Rubicon 6 - (for what is equivalent to USD2400 in local currency after a 50% discount)
2) Dynaudio Excite X34 - ( also USD2400 after a 19% discount)
3) Acoustic Energy Reference 3 - (for what is equivalent to USD2800 after a 55% discount)

These are to be driven by a hybrid integrated amplifier which outputs the firstt 20W in Class A and up to 140W in Class A/B.

I listen to all types of music except hard rock, heavy metal and classical. I would appreciate any inputs about the said speakers (or any of them); knowing very well that it is illogical to expect someone to have heard all of speakers above.

I can say to the debate that the Acoustic Energy Reference range of speakers excel in the bass response. 
l am only using the reference 1s in a second system and their smallest speaker. The rear port can be tuned using the supplied baffles limiting the roll off point that varies with placement. The reference 1s are the only ‘small’ speakers l have owned myself that do not need a sub. The only other example l have had also that had this same effect was a pair of larger stand mounted Mission 770s in the 80s.

 

l can not say the Reference 3s will be the same, but highly likely.
