There isn't really a "spec" that specifies how good a speaker will sound. Even if speakers have the same measurements, they will sound different as measurements don't tell you everything about how good a speaker will be, as those measurements dont take into account distortion, Vertical dispersion, Horizontal disperson etc.

Main speaker setup is now;

 

Mini DSP SHD Studio -> 2x Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC's (fed by AES/EBU, one feeds the left sub and main, the other feeds the right side) -> 2x Neumann KH420 + 2x Neumann KH870

 

(Having a totally seperate DAC for each channel is game changing for sound quality)

Many of the speakers in your list guys have high watt. What does watt do in speakers? Do all good speakers have a lot of watt?

Wattage is just a measurement of power, It won't tell you how loud the speakers can get. But yes, Higher wattage speakers tend to be of decent quality, as the components have to be able to handle that power well.
