The colonial is a very typical Kieninger-type chime. Deep and resonant, with a lovely hour strike as well, quite booming. A pretty good choice :o The Emperor has chime hammer misalignment issues, a few hammers are too close to the chime rods and cause unpleasant sounds, so definite nope from me. The Worthington sounds very nice, but it isn't exactly my most favorite key. It just sounds a little too odd for my liking, so nope from me as well. The Ridgeway bracket mantel clock has a very cute chime, which is oddly resonant for how short the chime rods are. I like it, and it's a potentially good choice. The Howard Miller bracket clock sounds... Exactly the same. Maybe slightly more resonant than the Ridgeway. The decay is on point. It's a potentially good vote as well. :o The Seth Thomas tambour mantel clock sounds exactly like my Hamilton tambour mantel clock, which I quite like. There isn't too many unpleasant chime hammer strikes, so I think it's a great option as well! The Howard Miller 613-226 is quite a loud one, as you've said it stands out the most in terms of audio. The key of the chime rods isn't exactly my most favorite. However, due to just how loud and presenting it is, I gotta give it a potential vote! The little Howard Miller Joyce clock after this 613-226 is really cute. I love quiet chimes, and I adore the styling of the whole clock itself. Definitely a potential vote. The Canadian Hermle mantel clock is actually tuned in one of my favorite keys! I love this key of chime. I'm still listening to all the other clocks, but this may be my vote if I don't change my mind. The hour strike goes well with the westminster chime. The HAC mantel clock, while it is a very interesting model and perhaps one of the most unique in your collection, I don't like how uneven the chime is. It stutters a lot through the quarters. The hour strike does sound pleasant though. The Howard Miller Sandringham has very unpleasant absences of chime hammer silicon, and makes the chime very metallic and unpleasant. So nope from me. The Howard Miller Jenison is tuned in another one of my favorite keys, and it doesn't have very much chime hammer jiggling issues. I quite love this one. I think _this_ one is my vote. But I'm gonna keep listening. The Howard Miller Shelbourne is quiet. It sounds just like the Ridgeway and Howard Miller bracket clock. Personally I prefer my 1983 Shelbourne with a slightly deeper key. By the way, the issue with the chimes going out of sequence may be able to be fixed by taking off the minute hand and trying to put it in different positions. While I love the Westmont's case styling, sadly the last chime hammer for the lowest note is too close to the chime rod and needs to be bent back just a millimeter or so, it sounds too close and causes the chime rod to be dampened and it makes it unpleasant. If this weren't the case, it'd be a good option for me. Soooo TL;DR, the Howard Miller Jenison gets my vote!

Full disclosure, I care very little for the chime quality of newer clocks. Even so, this was a fun challenge. While I briefly considered the Jennison, it suffers the same flaw as pretty much all Howard Miller clocks... A lack of richness and singing timbre. The chime rods on the Jennison are nice and deep, but, while resonating for quite a while, have a very flat and static sort of quality. The Westmont is the same... The deep tone of its long rods are overshadowed by its rather dull sound. The rest of the Howard Millers and the Ridgeway have that oh so typical doorbell chime sound thanks to their tiny chime rods, so I shall pass on those. The HAC had potential, but due to its surprisingly dreadful tuning and uneven chime cadence, it's out as well. So, I'm gonna be a lone ranger here, and vote for the Seth Thomas clock. Its chimes are sweet, mellow, and full-bodied, with a shimmering quality that none of the other clocks came even close to offering.

To me, it’s by far the well balanced and tuned Colonial longcase clock. In second position, the Seth Thomas.I usually don’t like Howard Miller’s sound. The Westmount sounds good though, on the quarters. It’s the strike of the hours that sounds unpleasant to my ear

The Colonial Grandfather is the best. The Seth Thomas tambour also has an excellent timbre. Check the hammers on many of your clocks. Some of the notes are dead because the hammers are sitting on the rods instead of spring away after impact.

My vote is for the Howard Miller Worthington. Because I have a bracket mantle clock that the chime sounds just like it. Even though everyone it’s been broken for several decades I remember back when it was work and what it sounds like and the Worthington sounds just like the bracket clock that I have that’s why I choose that one. But the bracket clock is not a Ridgeway or Howard Miller it’s a German one. So my vote for the Howard Miller Worthington

While all of these clocks sound beautiful, I kinda came up with a method to distinguish which chime I personally think is the best. The first step is seeing which clocks may chime slightly out of sequence (such as the HAC mantel clock). The second step is to see how dull the chime rods may sound, or how close the hammers are to the rods (The Emperor clock is a great example for that). This is because a lot of the clocks have the same chime tuning, so it’s best to listen carefully to see which may sound more dull. The last step is to pick your favorite sounding chimes. For me, I personally have to go with the Jenison and Westmont for that reason. However, the Westmont sounds a bit more dull on one of the chime rods, so I have to say the Jenison is a win for me.
