i would opt for the forests for that size of room. I listened to them at he2003 and they sounded fantastic. in a smaller room, i would go with the hawks. IMO, the totem speakers will need some power to do the speaker justice. I am not talking about 100 watts of sony or pioneer power, but 100 watts of classe, plinius, mcintosh,etc.. type of power. another solution is to go with the model 1's (or tabu) with either a rel or the totem subwoofer. i currently use the model 1's with a rel strata III sub and i am very pleased.
