op, i think tomic says it well
all three you are considering are good speakers with different baskets of strengths and weaknesses, but it seems to me the trio of choices are well chosen given your musical preferences and ancillaries
i know the spatials need a lot of room to breathe, so depends if you can get away with having the speakers well into the room - i myself am getting a fresh pair of m3 sapphires very shortly to try - i too have been wondering for some time what all the fuss is about with the open baffle speakers... i have dipole quads esl63’s (and big maggies in the past) but since then i have done all box speakers - proacs harbeths spendors atc's mostly, yes bass from a box speaker has a certain character no doubt
iirc bigger vandy’s need quite some room to breathe too, probably the c7’s the least among your 3
