If you can find the KEF 203/2 for $3K used, I think they are fabulous speakers. I can't tell you how to choose between the 205s and the 203/2, but the KEF reference speakers I've heard are smooth, detailed, and very involving.
I haven't heard the others, although I did once hear a really bad demo of the Devore 8s. I think there was something wrong with the setup at that dealer, since every speaker I heard there sounded like crap. So, I don't count that demo.
FWIW, I recently upgraded to a pair of Ohm Walsh 2000s, which sell for $2800/pr new. I am very happy with them, and IMO make ideal speakers for a combo music/HT system. They do respond well to bigger amplifiers, however.
Happy hunting!
