Wanting to upgrade my speakers


I currently have Yamaha A-S2200, Definitive Technology BP30 Towers,Definitive Technology Powerfield 1500 Subwoofer and Bluesound Node Icon 

Was looking at Sonas Faber Sonetto V G2's, Sonas Faber Lumina V Amator and JBL L100 Classic Black Edition.  My room size is approximately 21L×13w×8H

I really like the looks of the Sonettos but was wanting to get the best speakers for my Yamaha A-S220 and room size

@garrymac  unless you like your vocal presence to be mellowed and body of vocals be thinned out whilst having some added lower treble glare, do not get the Sonus Faber you have listed. it will initially impress but for the long run listening it can become annoying, and you start blaming the amp when it is the speaker. 

So, unless you listen at low SPLs like 50dB, if you listen at 80dB average then the colourations of the Sonus Faber can become annoying. That is just my singular experience with them though.

I'd rather a relatively more balanced presentation so yes, get the Super Linton from Curtchfield - In WalnutIn BlackIn Mahogany

@audiotroy Yamaha under reports their wattage. it is more like:

105 W into 8 ohms   
135 W into 6 ohms   
190 W into 4 ohms   
220 W into 2 ohms for dynamic peaks. That is a good amount of power delivery for an efficient speaker that is stable down to 2 ohm to get to pretty high SPL averages
