to be honest bbv you do seem a bit out of your depth regarding experience of high end hi fi.
i find your logic flawed since when are bryston or pmc technically perfect products. they are far from it , both having very particular 'colorations' or 'character' .
even though pmc now distribute bryston in the uk i have heard bryston sound better with many other brands of speakers and vice versa with the pmc speakers.
i used to be a rep for the importers and can tell you bryston are not the best sounding amps in the world.
as regards pmc's they make ok speakers i do prefer to use more agile tuneful speakers when i'm monitoring for mastering as i find them a bit on the slow and veiled side of studio monitors.
i have worked continuously in the music industry since leaving school and was born in 68' i think you can do the math as regards experience. by the way in your picture i would suggest your speakers may be to close to the left wall and could do with a tiny bit more toe-in to reduce refections from your bare walls.
