Amansker,
I just transitioned from a small space using 2-way stand mounts to full range floor standers in a larger area. If youre open to box speakers, take a look at the M12s I listed last night. Ive owned quite a few speakers costing more than several times their price and always ended up going back to the M12s in smaller listening environments. In regard to a sub, I used a pair of TBI Magellan V1 Us to augment the M12s low end with great results. Should you go the planar route, the TBIs would integrate well for the speed needed with that type of speaker and would fit nicely within the confines of your fireplace. They do pop up on Agon from time to time and as luck would have it, there are two (not mine) currently listed. Best of luck ;)
