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.

All box speakers distort the reproduced sound.

If you have good electronics, audition Magneplaners IN YOUR ROOM with a dealer who knows how to set them up.

You may not like them, but there are no speakers that provide less change to the sound at the speaker end.

Cheers, and happy listening.

This is perhaps the most interesting thing I have seen/heard... A guy who wants to spend almost $100,000 dollars on speakers hides his identity and doesn't just spend $2,000 to audition in places like NY, LA, etc. where he is guaranteed the best anonymity. I have a feeling he might be in the Pandora papers for siphoning funds from his country... lol

I'll take you at your word that travel is out of the question.

So,
If you bought this SOTA Swiss front end new, then what does the dealer recommend?  What are his other customers using?

If you bought it used what speakers were employed in that system?

It seems to me that anyone purchasing SOTA anything would pair it with other SOTA gear.
