The Golds are a very good cost/performance option.
My room is similar in size to yours and have two open ways into the bedroom area and into dinning room. In spite of this I can get response down to 25 Hz measured with SPL and test tone CD.
As Martice suggested accoustics are a key player and maybe if you position yuor speakers in a better accoustic place in your room you might get better response, a few inches do make a difference.
The Golds still reveal every tweak I do up in the sound chain.
Martice I just tried brass spikes (Audio points type) instead of Golds stock spikes and the results are well worth the effort. Better definition, less smear and tighter bass. For me there's no way back to the stock ones.
Here's the exact recommendation provided by Robert Maicks from Audio Points:
The Stratus Gold should use our 1.5AP-A Threaded Audio Point. It is a narrow body type with a 1/4"-20 thread that will screw into the existing holes on the Golds.
