Downgrading sound

Monitor Audio Radius 45 - 4"x4"x5" or 100mm x 100mm x 125mm, so very small, and they have an addition rear-firing tweeter to create a more diffuse effect than a standard speaker. £199/pr
Anthony Gallo Nucleus Micro - basically a 4" sphere £149ea so £300/pr
Cambridge Audio Minx Mini12 - and 80mm cube using a single BMR driver £70ea so £140/pr
Just looking at the Cambridge Mini12 and think I'm going to try a pair and see how they are. I can always try them on front duties while I have them
I could try the logitech sats but I think they are 4ohm, will this cause me much issue with the yamaha 1073?
What about the B&W M1's? They look like quite a decent option and one I also considered before downgrading further still.
I recently downgraded from a Nakamichi amp and Ruark speakers to a Denon Heos soundbar for very similar reasons. I won't pretend for a second that it's a comparable sound however it's very discrete, out of the way of the kids and the missus loves it. It's a bit unfair to compare the 2 systems as they're nothing like each other however a new place and new baby dictated that the old system was no longer suitable. There are times I miss it however I am also able to forget about the difference when watching a film... most of the time. Overall I don't absolutely regret it unlike when I switched from a projector to a TV again....thankfully back with a new projector as of this week again though.
