@appdevman - you will be fine with either. My room is 15 x 25 and I had both speakers up there. The Studio 2's are easier to drive and sound great. But the Salon 2's soundstage vertically better (obviously, because they are taller), go deeper and will compress your room better. But you need an amp with balls. Big balls....for the Salon 2's. The Studio 2's are easier to drive. There is a YouTube video of me driving my Studio 2's with a pair of Audio Research 250 tube amps.
