They may not catch the eye but we listen to a pair of Audiokinesis Dream Makers in beautiful light birch so my wife forgives their big size. In a rather big room much like yours. No sub needed. Atma-sphere Ma-1 amps. Very good match. Speakers were designed with the Soundlabs in mind. I have no affiliation with them - but maybe you could contact Audiokinesis and find a good solution for your room, system and tastes.
