would condsider vandies if you want a "warmer more forgiving sound"
or
Alon's II or IV instead of the dq 20's... they are a very highly reguarded speakervery similiar yet updated design of the dq-20 (same designer)
also, the alon drivers are still available...the iv's might do better for the bass response given the size of your room..
keep in mind the alons are very inefficent and extemely revealing compared to the vandersteen ( much more refinded in the mids and highs, the vandys sound signature are warmer/more forgiving in this range..) but the alons will totally disappear when set up right ( the alons are very cohearent...like a maggie but with bass... one of the most musical speakers i have heard hands down....
like any dipole, they are sensitive to rear wall placement but much more forgiving on the side wall placement..
good luck,
mike
