Pair of Siegfried monos at the very least, surely?
But if you could afford that lot, then you could afford some decent speakers, too… 
ATC. Speakers made to make you hate 99% of your record collection, and only want to play audiophool muzak.

There is theory and there is actually owning and using them with different amps. The ATC 40s need at least 200W and the ability to drive low impedence well, otherwise you are simply not getting the best from them.
p.s. You are turning into Serge.
Then you need low output impedance. Not power, usually of course high output amps have many devices paralleled, and high feedback, which leads to very low output impedance, but there are exceptions, the 60w amp I built that Ian has for example has an output impedance of under 0.1ohms, and if it was an A/B amp could probably be 3-400w.
Power =/= Drive, Power(voltaqe) = Volume
And no not entirely Serge, but I have always been Serge lite

A few years back in my search for something that wouldn’t give me bass issues in my room I bought a pair of SCM40s.They didn’t last long. I even called ATC and asked of they had any alternative tweeter options. That went down well 
They did however sound really good hooked up to a pair of Adcom monos.
Reminds me of years ago, when I was trying out speakers, I had a pair of Usher 8870s??, and I thought the tweeters were a bit hot.
They had three different pairs of tweeters, that were slightly less sensitive; the one I tried was about 1.5 DB less sensitive. Still didn’t like the speakers.
well , harbs arrived today from factory after a pretty long wait . just playing now so will feedback but bass is way more than i expected and if it continues like that the neighbours will be knocking on the door !!! hopefully it will calm down

unfortunately because of the shape of the room i can`t have them too far out from wall

How might the lows calm down? Not sure that is something which will happen without some form of adjustment to the signal & or removing the bass driver.
You forgot Linn and Focal.
Harbeths & corners, nope. They are designed for free space siting.
Just remove the corners of the room.

quite probably , we shall see how things go . considering i have those iso pucks and they are raised up on stands they certainly shake the floor with syriana soundtrack .
i have them biwired currently and the manual says single wiring with links is preferred method .
I did bark with laughter a little bit.
