OP must've left some significant info out.  Bought his listed speakers in 2023 but only has 20 hrs on them?  Unless you have some other speakers you primarily listen to, with that little listening involvement, why are you looking to spend $$ on anything?

Faradaddy2 I agree ,  eggleston are good speakers. Even the best consultants for speakers can’t help , if you are not patient enough to listen.What happen ? Why are you looking for new speaker? For second system or main system.

"You don't need a consultant just your own ears"

Personally, I think that you need both.  

It will take time for your aural memory to lock-in good, excellent, and just-right! 

Listen to LOTS of various systems.  Visit shop, shows and friends.  I understand it takes time, but it will be a good investment if you find 'just right' speakers.

Everyone seems to agree that in-home demos provide the most assurance.

Balance words with motivation.  Most of us have an emotional investment, as well as lots of cash, in HiFi.  Others of us have a profit motive.  Keep your ears open for all of these motives.

Last of all, be patient!
