For your size of room I would recommend the Ascent.
If all your upstream components are good full range Planars (Apogee, Maggies) or Electrostats (Quads, Soundlabs) let the music through.
For example play the cd from Sara K listening with the song "Whipping Post" your brain/ear will sense a person is playing the guitar. Low to mid price dynamic speakers portray this same event as if the guitar is machine generated albiet with a bit more dynamics. But the increase dynamics are mechanical not natural.
If only one day we can combine the strengths of Planars/Electro with the strengths of top shelf dynamic/horn speakers!:)
