Speaker audition recommendations?

I can audition speakers from the following speaker brands Kef, Paradigm, Dynaudio, Bryston, Golden Ear, Elac, Wilson, Aerial Acoustics, Vandersteen, Monitor Audio, and B&W. I would be looking to spend $8,000 to $9,000 US. Does anyone have any recommendations from these brands in this price range to audition? I do not want to by used and I currently have PMC Twenty5.26' s. May amp is a Devialet 200. Thanks in advance for the advice.

I have actually auditioned the KEF Reference 3, Vandersteen Treo CT and B&W.  I really liked the KEF 3 (though the ref1 will be closer to your budget).  I also liked the B&W 804 and the Vandersteen Treo CT.  I especially liked the Vandersteen Quatro CT, so much so that I bought them.  My second choice would have been the Treo.  It would be difficult to make a bad choice from the brands you have listed.
