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.

I have the Vandersteen 7 mk2 and matching Hybrid Tube / SS power amps as displayed Munich show. Helmut Brinkmann has them both. There is improved version out now, XTRM. Active sub / amp built in, easy to optimize in any room. Pick your paint color and go.

Best to you on your search. Enjoy the music.

Is it just me or is anyone else having difficulty with the concept of laying out $70K on a pair of speakers based on the suggestions of anonymous participants in an online forum?

Blasphemy from a Vandersteen lover, but have you considered MBL?
They are in Germany, so no overseas travel.
