Snell C/V Speaker Question

Oops, they are Snell CIV not C/V.

The room is 22 x 12 with plaster walls and 8 feet ceilings.
I have the Marantz mono blocks MA500 at 125 watts per channel. My other offer is a pair of Vandensteen 3's. They would probably be the safest choice as I own Dahlquist DQ10's and like them except for their coloration. I am trying to get a handle on how colored these speakers are. My idea of an uncolored speaker is the Reference Series from Paradigm. I once owned the 60s but also wanted a "bigger" sound.

Thanks for the responses. If I don't trade I will check out the Alons. Also, the person who sold me the Maggies says he is looking into the Axioms.
