My Room Size for Speaker Consideration

As I look at possible speaker sizes for my new 2-channel, I'm wondering how I should look at my room dimensions.  The family room is 15' x 20'.  On the 15' length (where I sit), there is a knee wall that opens into the kitchen, which is another 10' x 20':

At it's smallest, it's 300 sq ft
At largest, it's 500. sq ft.

To better match the speaker size, which room size should I consider? 

(I'm dreaming of the Focal Sopra 2, and their website is kind to recommend room dimensions)

I thought that would be a very easy way to flesh out your budget..........

Now don't make me beg for the amp/preamp and source you have or hope to have....

First I would not consider speakers that may be a difficult load. Now you are spending money on speakers which you may not like in your room ant them you are thinking it is the amplifier so you by some ridiculously high power amplifier and of course that doesn't help much you go with the room treatments advice... which will deaden the sound..... I mean there are a lot of system that I have heard at the RMAF that would sound better if they were turned off. 

As Art Dudley brilliantly says " if the first watt sounds like crap why would you want 200 more"
