Totem Forest, Spendor S6e, or Spendor S8e ??

I'd like to know if anyone has compared these
speakers. Im using Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 300 Integrated, and I also have the Plinius 9200.
My room is 20 x 18 with 10 foot ceilings and hardwood floors. Im using the Forests now, and the detail and depth are very impressive. The Forests have a wonderful deep bass, but are known to be a little bright in the high end.
Ive heard that the Spendors are warmer with
a sweeter high end. The 6e's have a 6 inch bass
cone and the 8e's have an 8 inch cone. I prefer warmth
over size and I wonder if an 8 inch cone might overpower
my room. There are no retailers here in New Orleans. Any thoughts?

Thanks guys ,for the advice. I thought most folks
would prefer the S8e's, as they did. Ive never tried the tabu's or MAni 2. Looks like I'll sell the Forest's at
some point, although Ive gotta admit the bass
and mid's are fantastic on the Totem's. Spendors look like they're just a small step up in overall presence.
And either amp will do a good job. Also in the running
was Green Mountain Callisto's, by the way.
And Ive got Signalcable IC's and cables as well
as Speltz Anti-Cables and Anti-IC's. I never got
a chance to use the Speltz's because Hurricane Katrina ran me out of town, and Im just getting my system back together.
