Had Three Different Speaker Thoughts; Now A Fourth

I currently have B&W 606 S2 bookshelves and I am thinking about doing something different, I haven't been overwhelmed by their build or performance. So I read and read and read some more and I think I have it narrowed down to three choices. Auditioning any of them is highly unlikely.

I've looked at the Tannoy Eaton, the Volti Razz and the Magnepan 1.7.

My listening room is 12x25 and there's not a lot of room for moving my LP (odd closet and a center of house chimney). 
I have a Parasound Halo6 Integragrated. 
Given the size of the room would the Razz be too much? This is my top choice.

The fourth option a friend mentioned and it has appeal is this... I also own a pair of Polk RTiA7 towers. They are a really nice cabinet with a nice build that house a 6.5 and two 7 inch drivers and a tweeter. He said I should think about replacing the drivers with Scan Speaks and upgrading the crossovers.

Thoughts?

Great German monitor ,the Elac Vela BS 403 it has the latest 
very refined Jet5 AMT tweeter , 6.5 inch sandwich Diamond Aluminum, paper mid Bass driver ,down firing Port, nicely done Xover even Van Dan hull Carbon  internal wiring , made in Germany not in China like the vast majority ,even B&W, Monitir Audio ,ps,audio, and paradigm Revel Sonus faber all China,for under $3k you are lucky to find anything 
fritz good drivers low end Xover and wiring owned $2500 I know first hand , I or others remove the driver to check ,I rebuild my own xovers many times . The Elac the exception to the rule
excellent paint finish and between $2-2500 with very good fast tight Bass mud 40 Hz which is very deceiving for a speaker not real big and the AMT tweeter is very fast but very refined and controlled.
