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?

Have your dealer set up the Maggies in your room and give them a few days to listen to a wide variety of your favorite music.

If you do not like them IN YOUR ROOM, buy something else.  However, be sure to critically look at your hardware as well.  You will hear whatever it adds or subtracts from the music with these speakers, so it may be time to change some of your components, or not!

Cheers, and happy listening, which is what it is all about!
