Best speaker for the Spectral DMA 360 series 2 amp

I'm considering the Magnepan 20.7 or 20.1, Aerial 20T, or Wilson Watt 7.. My music is mainly jazz, classical and blues with a variety of others but not much of a rock n roller..
My listening space has a 18-20ft ceiling height and is about 19x30 with 4 large windows. Some room treatment as well.. The room is an open floor plan and opens into the rest of the house. The room size has a Tendency to swallow up the bass leaving the sound some what lean. At least that was the case with the avalons I had. Other electronics had the same problems. Of the above speakers which give me the best bang for the buck. You opinions as alway are greatly appreciated

Thanks! I do like panels, imaging and sound staging are important as well. I heard the big Soundlabs once and was blown away. I really like the low level detail.
However it was in a small room compared to mine and I don't know how spectral would match up. I could change the amps if I need to.

I have heard the soundlabs, though with non-Spectral amplification and they sounded superb. The best system I have ever heard happened to be a fully Spectral /MIT syst in a moderately large room and Avalon Eidolons as the speakers. I run Spectral/MIT w/Eggleston Andras w/ very good results. Have you heard/ considered Egglestons before? Obviously your specific room will come into play, but, in my system at least, the andras plumb the depths w/ their dual 12" dynaudio drivers (+esotar tweeter) and can move some serious air, while managing to be pitch coherent, engaging and hollographic in my system, for what its worth. Happy listening and best of luck in your search.
