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?

Ever take a 3 day vacation?

How far are you from Denver? 2 hour flight. $300.

Why not go to RMAF in October and hear a few things?
People will say it is terrible way to judge how a speaker
may sound at your home. But it a good way to get familiar
with the different sound of some wide ranging options
you have thrown out. BTW I would take a listen to Spatial
open baffle products too. Tannoy is usually a no-show 
at these events but dealers do exist. Seattle has Hawthorne.

I own Tannoys and will be keeping them. 
Whoever you chose be sure to get a 30 day trail.
