Speaker advise needed

Hi Guys. My current digs(studio apt, thanx ex wife) require neer field listening. Listening posistion about 9' from speaker plane. I'm considering Gallo Reference III's, Magnapan 1.6's, Thiel 1.6's (preferably) or maybe Spendor 5S. These top my limited list. I'm going to scan Audiogon for one. Listening tastes are electric blues, classic rock(Tull, Deep Purple etc) some jazz. Power will be PS Audio HCA2 and PCA2 with Marantz dv 9500 and still to arrive Sota Moonbeam TT. Any input appreciated as always.

Ordered the Aeriusi, they have new upgraded panels. We shall see, should have them by 3/24. Thanks for the input.

Thanks, I've pretty much written off the Maggies as they are placement critical from what I've read. My short list now includes Martin Logan Aerius i's. Any input on these? Haven't listened to Tyler's. I live in upstate ny so I rely on Audiogon, TAS etc for info.

Thanks, just packed my Mirage OM5's, talk about work! My girlfriends pissed so i must move fast on new speakers. I 'm leaning towards ML Aerius but the lack of bass is a concern to me.
