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.

You should go listen to those as they have different sonic signatures. My preference would be the Magnapans but the Gallo's have had superb reviews. See which one you like is the best thing you can do. Your list is a very good one and you really can't go wrong with any of them but like I said a personal audition is mandatory if possible as you're the only one who can make the best choice.
