Speaker audition recommendations?

You stated that you can actually physically audition 11 listed different speaker brands, with a plethora of models within each. (that’s a lot)

You’ve listed the simple and preferred pathway to solving your quandry: Just start the in-person auditioning process : its a journey that’s a part of this hobby. Just work your way down this list and hopefully you hit your preferred brand and model. There are no heavily personally biased suggested faves offered up herein that are to be relied on blindly. (too many variables, including inter alia, performance impact of your other pieces and arena; the source, music genres, listening arena acoustic warts, inpact of cables etc....)

There are no "bad" choices in your list and your price strata... they are are all quality build brands. The performance differences will be subtle and strictly a personal value judgement as to your ultimate choice among the contenders and pretenders.

Drag your amp with you to the dealer, or arrange a dealer home audition ...full stop.

What are your PMC Twenty5.26s not doing for you?

Could it be the Devialet 200?

Sharing more details on your system, room, music, and general preferences will help members give you more specific advice.

Audition, audition, audition.
Let your ears be your guide. My approach is to listen to everything and narrow it down to the ones I liked the best. Then, take your amp to the dealer and see if it can work the same magic.
Yes, it will take time and energy, but you will be one step closer to enlightenment.
