Nice progression, great speakers, and with your final choice, the Elipsa, you may never have to look again. That one is a definite "keeper".

Polk RT600i
Polk RT800i
Onix Rocket signature
Martin Logan Ascent-i
----and my current,
Martin Logan Vantages

I tend not to change out speakers that often. I've had the Vantages for 6 years and counting, and unless I find a killer deal on a pair of Spires, the
Vantages are not going anywhere.

There are only four that I can say I liked a lot and the all of the rest like L-100's, the Von Schweikert's, 111e's etc just passed on thru some iteration of my systems.

My four favorites are:
MBL 111F's
Dahlquist DQ-10's
JM Lab Micro Be's
B&W 802D's
