Input requested on 3 options for listening room

My listening room is 20 x 28 x 7.5 ft., with speakers along the short wall and some broadband room treatments. Electronics: Cambridge Audio Azur 840C CDP and Belles Statement integrated amp (180 W per side).

In about a month, I'm hoping to audition the following three speakers: Harbeth SHL5, Dynaudio Confidence C1 Signature and Audio Physic Scorpio (or Tempo).

I am not a bass freak nor do I listen at ear-bleeding levels. Ultimately, my goal is to find a speaker (up to 7K) that will provide a more musical presentation, with an increased sense of musicians-in-the-room reality, than what I am currently getting through Acoustic Zen Adagios.

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Alan (and Hank).

I used to have Maggie 1.6s but I sold them even though I loved their transparency and huge soundstage. The reason: I felt they were too much for my low (7'6") ceiling. Obviously, the 3.7s would be even more imposing, although I'm sure they sound glorious!

That is why I'm currently considering Harbeth SHL5, Dynaudio Confidence C1 Signature and Audio Physic Scorpio, which my local dealer has or can get. Opinions wanted! :-)
