Of those Speakers.... in order of preference I'd go for the Monitor Audio GS10 (IMHO the best bookshelf speakers I've heard).... then the Totem Rainmaker (didn't impress me much but it doesn't hurt my ears).... the CM1 (sound really good but hurts my ears after 20 - 30 minutes) and unless I got them for free I wouldn't touch the 705 (Painful to listen to for a long period of time).... But, once again, you have to listen and come to your own conclusions.....

I would highly suggest waiting for the GS10 to be back in stock, since you already have a pair of speakers... Why rush and potentially miss out on a better speaker?
