May I have any advice on Horning Hybrid Aristotle PM65 speaker?

Hello, 

After some research, I can almost narrow down my next speaker lists.
Briefly, here’s my primary conditions.

Music: Classical music (especially Piano) / Jazz
Room size: approx. 14ft by 14ft (4m x 4m)

Amp: Pass Int60 (I can still switch this to Xp10/12 + X150.8 though there might be no benefit? I don’t know)
          Or Luxman590 AXII

For speaker, I almost narrow down to Harbeth Super HL5XD  or Sonus Faber Olympica III (vs Focal and B&W)

Then two boutique brands are recommended by a dealer. (By message)

1) Boenicke W8 (or W11?)

2) Horning Hybrid Aristotle PM65

In case of Boenicke, at least I can drive to San Diego to audition.

But Horning speaker, honestly I have no idea. Not even sure High water still carries one. (I read in the article)
- a Different dealer sent me the message

He told me that my favor in music (especially piano) requires sensitive speaker, and SFIII would be too slow.

Anyone with Horning brand? Aristotle?

Give High Water Sound a call. He's the US importer for Horning, and a generally swell guy.

Thank you all! 

I think talking to him should be the first thing.
Still I’m outside of the country for business trip, so need more time.

Can you please tell me briefly, how this speaker can perform better than, (Classical music especially Piano) for example,

1) Bosendorfer VC7
2) Vienna Acoustic Beethoven 

Or from the different spectrum

3) Magnepan + 200+W combination?

Please share some wisdom.
(Please message me if this would be more appropriate)
