VPI 16.5 problem

Focal 1037be's Amp Suggestions ???
Raquel, The square room has a staircase and a hallway that lead into it. Actually, the hallway is attached to the room it's self. That would make the room another 4' wider. There aren't any interior doors in the room. Looking at it in that prespec... 
Focal 1037be's Amp Suggestions ???
