Choosing between Cornwall IV, Trio15 or X4 Ultra


I'm currently listening to Schiit Frey+ - PrimaLuna Evo300 poweramp - Sonus Faber Sonetto III each with a REL T7i. Sources are Ultrarendu - Schiit Gungnir and SOTA Comet III - Pro-Ject Tube Box. 

The room is 28'X33' with ceilings that start at one side wall 15' and slant up to 26'.  The room is divided in half by a 4' wooden cabinet that splits the room in half like a mini wall.  It's split level by 18".  So my "actual" listening area is 16'X28' but open to the entire room.  Speakers are on the 16' wall.

I'm looking for a sound with more body and visceral impact.  My current setup has impressive soundstage, detail, and imaging, very holographic.  With jazz/instrumental it really shines.  If I had to keep it as is I would be happy.  I listen primarily at night with low volumes.  At low volumes, the soundstage of course collapses and does not bring me joy.  Even during loud listening, it is lacking a je ne sais quoi.  

So I am thinking of changing out the speakers with Klipsch Cornwall IV, Pure Audio Project Trio15, or Spatial Audio Lab X4 Ultra.  I've heard the Cornwalls and was impressed.  I don't think going to "demo" the other speakers would really give me a realistic idea of what they would sound like in my home so I think I'll just order and ship them back if hate them.  

Thoughts?  My budget is $5K - 10K.

I have a space similar to yours, and have CW4’s.  I listen at low volume levels most of the time and really like the Cornwalls.  I like the Volti’s as well.  Guess you pays your money and makes your choice.  Audio Note E’s would also be excellent in your room.

I've got a similar size room, although the vaulted ceiling is lower, about 9 to 15 feet. I'm also considering the Volti Rivals and the Pure Audio Trio15 Coaxial.   Would like to hear from anyone who has compared them.  I'll use a Pass Int-25 which should be a good match with either.    There does not seem to be much of a used market in either one, and the Rivals are quite a bit more expensive with shipping, almost double the price of the Trio15.
