Need help replacing my beloved Magnepan....

I have been using Magnepan for years in my basement and I am moving to a new space where I need to set up a new listening room in my living room. I am looking for Bookshelves or small tower speakers' recommendations because I won't be able to use my beloved 1.7i Maggies anymore in my new space. I loved the huge wall of sound and the amazing transparency my 1.7i produce. Which speakers can get me close to what Magnepan can do?  I listen to a lot of Jazz vinyl and my system consists of: Atoll IN200SE integrated amp, Tube Phono preamp: Rega Planar 3 with Nagaoka cartridge, denafrips dac with all acoustic zen interconnect + Clear Day DSG speaker cables. Thank again for all your recommendations in advance.

+1 with @johnto and others who suggest replacing Maggies with Maggies.  No other speaker reproduces music as accurately as Maggies, IMO.

The limitations you note are evidently size.  Move them when you are not listening, or go with the smaller Maggies.

You will be glad you did in a year or so, I am sure.  Listening fatigue is NOT a pretty thing, and box speakers give you that, unfortunately.

Cheers!
