Speaker choice advise requested...

I bought a pair of Tannoy floor standers several months ago after becoming somewhat disenchanted with music reproduction in my system. I believe my Tannoys are an earlier version of the XT6, 2 6 inch drivers with a tweeter in the concentric design.

Tannoys have a "music first" approach. Upon comparing them with a few different speaker brands I have, with Parasound Halo gear they have a superior soundstage and have become my favourite. I listen to rock, pop, country and some old school jazz.

The imaging on these Tannoys is quite something for the money. The speakers simply disappear, and the stage is right in front of you. I’d give them a listen for sure.  

I like the Tannoys a lot.  

First off, gear between speakers will hurt the imaging of any system especially in a small space. Maggies will do better away from the wall, but so will most dynamic speakers and all the ones you list. You might want to search for speakers that are designed to be close to the wall. The one everyone seems to rave about lately are Larsen, which I haven't heard at all. Harbeths and Audio Note are a couple that are often setup near corners in small rooms, but usually with tube gear. One brand that used to be quite popular and was designed for against the wall is NHT. Corey Greenberg used them as his reference for a while and his musical tastes run towards yours. Probably affordable used if you like that idea.
I like the Vandersteen recommendation and think that they can deal with being close to the wall and still sound coherent and really rock. They really benefit from Sound Anchor or similar. Cheers,

Excellent input all, thanks. Actually, I have my .7's far enough out into the room, the issue is having to have the tv/entertainment center in between. From what I've read/heard a more conventional direct firing cone speaker might be the better choice. Sadly, I really can't audition much where I live so i rely on advise and reviews...

I still am of the opinion that other parts of your setup are not allowing the speakers to do what they should. Is there a reason why you won't reveal the source, amp and preamp?
I don't mean to be pushy, but speakers are dependent upon the signals given to them. An inaccurate signal will be propagated by the other components and make any speaker sound less than what it could reproduce.
