Tyler Ref Monitors vs. Dynaudio 1.3 MK11

I'm considering going to a monitor and am wondering if anyone has an opinion on how either of these would match with my system. Or any other suggestions. I currently own a pair of Dynaudio 72's. My price range is 1200-1500. I don't mind buying used. I listen to a little bit of everything but mostly blues, jazz, some rock and roots music. I don't need a massive amount of bass but would like something with some low level impact. My room is roughly 12x15. Here is the rest of my equipment. Thanks.

I like the 72's just fine. They do however, get quite loud in my room without too much effort. I've been told I might be better off going with a higher quality monitor. I owned the Audience 50's before I got the 72's. I loved the 50's but needed a little more bass. I was thinking the 1.3's or the Tyler's would probably give me a more refined sound and a bit more bottom end.

Thanks for all the advice. As far as giving speakers some room to breathe; I will only be able to position the speakers about a foot or so from the back wall. Will this be enough for the Dynaudio's or any other rear ported speaker?

John, I used to have a pair of the Audience 50's so I know about the plugs. I didn't like using the plugs on the 50's because I felt the sound became too dry. The 50's sounded okay only a foot from the wall. I'm just curious if the 1.3's or the 1.8's will also work that close to the back wall.
