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?

I think given the financial commitment you are going to make, that a road trip is in order.  If you have never heard Maggies, you definitely need to hear them.

I say this because people often are drawn to them, or not.  In my case, I knew they were for me immediately.  You nay or may not have the same reaction, but the only way to know isin person.  As an aside, on our first listening trip my wife liked them so much she was good buying 20.7a, we ended up with 3.6s and are content to this day.

Good luck on your journey, research, research, research!
