Fujindemon,
You are fortunate to have a dealer with a selection of floorstanders and monitors for your audition. It really doesn't matter if the speaker is a floorstander or a monitor if it is accurate, well-designed, and placed correctly in your room. Manufacturer margins may allow for sometimes better materials and design in a comparably priced monitor, but it's really a function of execution in each design.
I tend to listen to similiar music and have a monitor speaker. I don't think your music will preclude you from this route. I haven't missed the bass below 40HZ a great deal, but a good subwoofer often makes a nice addition to monitors which does add a possible future variable.
The Spendor 1/2 monitor measures about as accurate as you will find from 60HZ to 10KHZ. It seems to always be one of the favorites of those extremely familiar with live music. You should take the opportunity to give it a good audition with your natural acoustic and vocal recordings.
I use Harbeth monitor speakers in a room very close to your dimensions. Like the Spendor, they come from England and the BBC research projects. The Harbeth designs really push the accuracy envelope and combine some excellent design aspects. They are very placement and equipment friendly. There are a few other speakers with this type of accuracy that you can also research.
Work the speaker angle hard because it with your room are primarily what you're going to hear and have to live with.
Best regards,
Mike C.
