Despite your valiant effort, I'm still not quite able to figure out your room.
Do you have to listen through the 10-foot opening between the bookshelves?
Sound Labs would probably work as well as anything else, provided you can locate 'em out into the room several feet so they can "breathe" and give you good depth of soundstage.
As far as which model, in general the bigger the better. There are of course other considerations, but sadly that's a pretty good ballpark answer for most situations. I'd say that the M-2 may well be the biggest bang-for-the-buck of the lineup; it's not too far off the big full-sized M-1's and retails for over four grand less.
I'm not familiar with EAD amps; can you give a brief description?
If you'd like to give me a call, perhaps I can do a better job over the phone. I think I have too limited an understanding of your situation to do a good job in this reply.
Also, let me know where you're located, as perhaps I can put you in touch with a local dealer who can readily give you an audition.
