Klipsch LaScallas vs Klipsch Cornwalls?


I'm trying to decide on which Klipsch Speakers to choose the Cornwall or the LaScallas. Although I have a small room, I don't play my music loud. I like the efficiency of the LaScallas but the bass potential of the Cornwalls.
My room is 14' x 13'. My gear is very quiet on my Spicas and I'm hoping they will be on the Klipsch. I'm very interested in dynamics and great reproduction of guitar, drum and vocals. I listen to Jazz, Classical, RnB, Blues, Folk and Audiophile recordings. Which would you choose?

I have owned both as well. I presently own Lascalas. However I have done much work to them to get them to "disappear". (You can visit the thread Why Not Horns). Have you listened to either of these in lenght, in a room your size, with electronics of good quality ? Owning Spicas you will be getting a musical presentation that is quite different with either of these Klipsch. I find the Lascala to be more coherent between the drivers/crossover than the Cornwall, but the Cornwall does extend a bit further down in hz. Although I am an advocate of my Lascalas, how did you decide on these versus others ? Just some thoughts....
A 15 x 22 room would be fine for Lascalas or Cornwalls(from lots of experience). If an image cannot be created some placement trial and error (both speakers and listening seat), room treatment, and associated equipment would help. As far as a 14 x 13 room, this could be a bit small for either of them, but could work with the right know how. Just the speakers and 1 listening chair could be magical, as well as everything else I mentioned.
It is interesting and refreshing to here someone (other than myself) talk about a speaker that has speed, dynamic prowess, resolution and scale. These are all attributes of live music. I also put emphasis on rhythm, beat and tempo, (similar to speed) which are other attributes of live music. Thank you.
