To those dumping on YT for music:
YT has a LOT of great live performances: NPR’s Tiny Desk, KEXP’s live sessions, many concert recordings (and not just the terrible handheld cell phone ones).

Yes, the audio is not 24/192, but if you can’t enjoy watching these musicians PLAY, then you have issues.
There is no best.
Somewhere there is a pair of speakers that blend with your room and electronics to generate a sonic signature that a) gives the flattest response or b) gives a response curve that pleases you the most. You will never find this pair of speakers.
Somewhere there is a pair of speakers that match your style and decor choice perfectly. You won’t find these either.
There are many speakers that are very good in both categories. Sadly, the best way to narrow them down are to listen to them in your space. But that is unlikely to happen unless you are willing to buy & return a whole bunch of speakers.
The list you provided are all decent speakers.
Crutchfield has some of them on pretty good sale. I don’t know about shipping to Europe.
And to follow the tradition of not answering your question and throwing more choices at you. Paradigm makes nice bookshelves in that price range.
