I'd have to second Brulee's recomendation I have a room of similar size to your own and the Soundlab A-1's sound great. Good luck, you're in a good price range to buy something excellent.
for 20-25% of the money, ya mite wanna czech out the newforM research r645's, (or the nhb645's, especially if ya run subwoofers). see their www, & the reviews on audioreview.com. 30-day in-home trial - yure only out shipping if they don't do it for ya. i'm saving for these...
i have heard these speakers a few times at a local dealer and was mostly impressed. set-up was inconsistent. i am used to dynamic speakers so they sounded slightly washed out to me. but i think that is my listening biases coming thru. one problem was that they were always tinkering with the crossover and they never were fully satisfied with it. that would frustrate me but someone else might love to tinker. they clearly have great potential and your room has the size to let them breathe. good luck.
Thanks again to all for the post's from everyone, I have a lot of thinking to do. I have not ruled out the Wisdoms as I know it takes a ton of tinkering with a speaker like that.
Sound labs sound good, as well as the Newforms. (I have heard a lot of great reviews from those.)
A store in Bozeman MT had a demo pair of A-1s for sale. $10,500 including shipping in the US. I don't know if they still have them but their number is 406-522-8904. Good luck
