Room size definition

I would like to better 'describe' (or specify) my living room when people I ask for input want to know about my 'room size'.

My living room is 25 x 15, very open on one side (25). 2 stories high (19'). 

Speaker placement is 2 ft in front of short wall (which has 2 open squares 4x5 (open to breakfeast/kitchen area on eye height), one in corner, one in 'open corner'. Listening about 15' from speakers.

18" Dayton sub in sealed encloserdriven by Elemental Design LT1300 amp (Built for eD by Keiga and based upon an ICEPower module developed by Bang & Olufsen)  is providig low bass (sufficient for my taste/need). 

I currently run the smallish front tower speakers in 'small' setting' (I found it improved the sound vs 'full range', even when I had true full range tower speakers).

I am now considering smaller 2 way speakers, like LS50. 

Concern: can a LS50 (with sub) or similar speaker with small drivers 'fill' the room (i.e. provide SPL in realistic levels)? Alternatively, I consider a (used) B&W Nautilus 804.

Call or email KEF with your question and they will get back to you pretty quickly.  I have a smaller room than you do and asked the if the speakers I was looking at were to much for my room and they answered me in less that 48 hours.

BTW, the LS-50’s should work well in your room WITH a couple of subwoofers.

All the best.
