Room size-how do I determine speaker size?

HI. I am moving soon (to a small house), with a living room of 12x12. How do I determine what size of sperkers will work in the room? Monitor, 2-way floorstanding, 3-way floorstanding? I was thinking that monitors may be a good choice, but I don't want to totally miss out on bass response. Is there a "rule-of-thumb" regarding room size and speaker size?

You can't get direct low frequency response in that room -- only reflected (the wave-length is longer).
So, I second, third & fourth the monitor. You'll have great sound and "apparent" bass response (at the expense of spkr sensitivity).
