Best skiinny floorstanders

After 10 years with a pair of Martin Logan Ethos speakers, I'm considering moving back to boxes, box speakers that is.   I'd like to avoid big obtrusive box speakers and am considering some skinny ones in the $8-12k range like the:
Devore Fidelity Super Nines
Boenicke w11s
and...
.... other suggestions

The room - is around 18 by 30, parts with a low ceiling, carpeted, and the wall behind the speakers is books. Serves as gym in the early am when my wife pulls out the rowing machine and turns the tunes up loud, play room for the grandkids in the afternoon and listening room for me in the evenings.

Currently running all tubes but I'm open to changing that up too.
Taste in music - eclectic.

Thanks in advance!

If you like that immersive experience, I would look seriously as Sansonic.  The MB5 B is going to be thin with great bass response.  The MB6 B will be taller and you may find it visually less appealing.  Both will be in your price range.  

Another interesting option is the Audiovector R3s.  Read Andrew Quint's review in the Absolute Sound.  They are tremendous and relatively easy to drive, as are the Scansonics.  

Full disclosure, I am a Scansonic Raidho dealer and I continue to flirt with Audiovector.  They are both awesome lines.
