Hi Brian -
Your KEFs are too small for the room.
My living room is about the same size as yours and speakers that play very well in the smaller second bedroom (10 x 15) that we use as a den, sound awful in the living room.
You need bigger speakers with bigger woofers that take control of the space. I am using now Zu Audio DWs (Dirty Weekend) and they work very well in the space. My wife has complimented their sound and she is not one to comment one way or the other.
Not certain what is available where you live (the Portugal is throwing me a bit). But start with floorstanders with 8 inch woofers, that have some oomph/ pushing power to them.
