Polk RTi10 vs. Paradigm Studio 20 or Mini Monitor

I need some advice and i'm hoping to get some help from all your expertise(1st time in a forum for me). I want a floor standing speaker(Polk Rti10), but my wife wants a smaller bookshelf in either the Paradigm Studio 20 or i was considering the Mini Monitor. I'm currently running a Yamaha RXV1300 and the room is a rectangle 13'x17' with the speakers in the corner. If i cannot convice my wife to go with the floor standing speakers, which of the two bookshelf Paradines would you suggest. I will of course be adding the corresponding Center Speaker that works best with each. Help

If you have to get mini monitors look @ used Merlin TSM's they are great.

First, "in the corner" is not necessarily the best place for any speaker. Pull them away from the walls, to the extent tolerated by She Who Must Be Obeyed.

The corner is often exactly the right place for the subwoofer, which you are getting to complement the monitors, right?

Hey,
Since you like all 3 choices, How about letting the wife go along on a listening and decor audition,all 3 can be a good match for the yamaha, but a sub and quality stands would be needed for the monitors.
