Snell C/V Speaker Question

I owned a pair of C/V's a few years ago. They are good speakers, however they need a muscle amp to really come alive. If you have a power amp that's pushing less than 100 watts, consider something else. Furthermore, the C/V also needs lots of space. It's bottom end will overload a smallish room

The room is 22 x 12 with plaster walls and 8 feet ceilings.
I have the Marantz mono blocks MA500 at 125 watts per channel. My other offer is a pair of Vandensteen 3's. They would probably be the safest choice as I own Dahlquist DQ10's and like them except for their coloration. I am trying to get a handle on how colored these speakers are. My idea of an uncolored speaker is the Reference Series from Paradigm. I once owned the 60s but also wanted a "bigger" sound.

Oops, they are Snell CIV not C/V.
