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 justt completed a new xover for my 15+ yr old Seas Thors,
MTM,
Had Hovland caps,
Went with a a;; Mundorf. High end
I found some gains in the Millennium tweeter (has 4 caps, = cost me a bundle) and for the dual W18E001’s, made some mod to the cap, went from the original 8.2uf Hovland>> to a Mundorf Silver Oil 8.2($150ish?/) and a Mundorf SESGO 2.2($100 each!!) The W18’s now have rock solid punchy bass.
The higher end Scanspeak 7 inches are super woofers, but quite the price.
So on the 7’s you havea choice
The Seas Graphene $500 each
Of
Scanspeaks many options, some go as high as $800 EACH!!!
Both labs offer incredible new midwoofer designs,
The Seas Graph has a titanium voice coil, which IMHO is the best bet for upper mids to say 1500hz.
For the tweeter section, I have no suggestions.

Possibly the most over hyped speaker ever, 
Bose being #1 snakeoil-ed. 
B&W a  close 2nd place.
Is that company still in business? 
Hard to imagine those things  continue to sell.
The used market is flooded with B&W's.
