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.

Thank you all , yes Dubai Audio is the more dominant dealer however they are biased to their brand list, like Wilson , Dan, Gryphon , Nagra and other small brands. 
I am not interested to any except Wilson Sasha/Alexia 2 if I am left with no international option.

Before shelling out $70k perhaps you might want to watch this Audioholics presentation first... and then buy some headphones.

I'm joking, but there might be something of consideration here.

If you're short of time you might want to skip ahead to the 20 minute point.

Interesting stuff, especially in light of your comments about electrostatics.

My personal opinion with your electronics is if you can swing them get the big Raidho's. To my ears they are the most musical. I have listened to everything above, but not all in my system.
