Driving a pair of Pulsars (ver 1) with a pair of Mr. Karsten's Atma-Sphere M-60 mono amps (luckily thru one of his pre-amps!) in a room of the exact same dimensions described.
My tastes vary, Radiohead to Dinah Shore to Debussy to Iron & Wine, etc. etc., all in one day. On no occasion have ever felt the 60 watt amps were not enough. They can take Mighty Sam McLain's 'Too Proud' to the point where my living room windows are actually rattling (hard to believe the little Pulsars can move that much air, yet somehow they do...), and I still don't think I've tapped out all the M-60's have to give. You just wouldn't want it any louder.
Have no experience with the BEL, but if is the solid 50 wpc I imagine it to be, I suspect you'll not want for more, less you're keen on deafness;).
