I have a room almost the exact same size. I am currently trying a pair of Usher Be-718's on loan from a local dealer. These are wonderful speakers in many ways and have very good bass for standmounts. The berylium (sp?) tweeter provide lots of detail without being too bright, soundstanging and imaging is very good (although I'm still playing with position), nice dynamics and tone. I do miss the weight of bass from a floorstander speaker. That said, I haven't tried a lot of different positions to see if I can enhance bass by placing closer to rear wall. I've auditioned Totem Arro and Staffs in a larger room a few years ago in a house we previously owned. I preferred the Staaf over the Arro, but also thought both were nice speakers. I can't compare the Totems directly to the Ushers, because of room and equipment changes and it was about 4 years ago. I'd be very tempted by the Ushers because they do a lot well for the money, and are an impressive little package, are reasonably priced for what they do, and I recommend that you consider them. I'm probably going to stick with a floorstander but am considering a range of options.
