Klipsch RB-61 II or Elac B6 for Basement Bar?

I'm sure I'm overthinking this, but I'm torn between what I've read about the Jones Elac B6 (which are new) and the Klipsch RB-61 II (which I can pick up locally for around $280)... The Klipsch gets some of the top-rated reviews for a bookshelf speaker, but the newer B6 seems to hold its own.

The system is really not high-end, but I've put together a combo that works for the basement bar:
Audio-Technica LP120 turntables
Behringer VMX300 Mixer
Alesis RA300 Amp feeds Klipsch K6 4 speakers (dancefloor at end of room)
Alesis RA150 Amp feeds Klipsch KSB 3.1 speakers (DJ area other end)
Alesis RA150 Amp feeds ??? (bar area in middle of room)

So- I'm looking at a pair of speakers to fill the sound in the bar area, which is closer to the Dj area than the dancefloor... if the speakers fit just right they create a center that completes the really full sound (left) of the dancefloor and the fill (right) of the DJ area.

I know this sounds crazy, but when it all comes together we really like spending time in the bar... Any feedback would be appreciated!
