I tried the ML 60 Xti version. Much too bright/forward in my low ceiling space but very well built and fantastic bass response. Those could work for you, and Best Buy carries them and has a 14 day trial. I got mine from Crutchfield to try and it was $10 for each speaker to ship back. I kid you not.
Glancing at your list and considering other reviews, my guess is the Ascend tower would be an amazing value. They seem to have great customer service and a friendly attitude. I had a couple exchanges over email with them and was very close to trying them. Read the blogs -- people love Ascend.
