Another "Help me choose my speakers" thread

Just looking for some suggestions on upgrading speakers for a 2 channel music setup.

I'm currently using a Marantz 2230 and I plan to keep it around for awhile.

My room is rather small, 11.5ft x 9ft, 7ft ceiling.

I listen to jazz, rock, and bluegrass inspired music.

I won't spend more than $1000 or less than $500

I have been reading many forums and just about loosing my mind with indecisiveness. Some of my considerations have been floor standing, like the Klipsch RP-6000F, Wharfedale Diamond 9.6, or the Fuance Signature Series. Some have been bookshelf,  like the Martin Logan Motion 15, Wharfedale Denton, or the Focal Chorus 706. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Wow, what an upgrade to the 301's! These S6e's sound amazing! It's like the mid range and bottom end have come alive! I'm hearing instruments doing things in the background that I have never have been able to before. The bass is surprising for the size of these things. I just set them up today, so I am still messing around with the placement. Just had to sit down and enjoy "Kind of Blue" while I gave you guys my first impressions. 😁
Thanks for all of the feedback, I'm grateful for this website.

Congrats!  That was an excellent choice.  There’s probably much more potential in those speakers as well so whenyiu are ready for more, just upgrade your amp / pre.
