I'm surprised by some of the choices here. Your room is big enough, and has the ability to have a tower speaker instead of bookshelf size ones. The Martin Logan Motion 60XT is a great performer that will give you that ribbon style tweeter, that is so much easier on the ears. It will give you so much more full sound than a bookshelf. An all around award winning speaker. There's Monitor Audio 300 series, and the more expensive Montor Audio Platunum II Series for $5,700. Both the Martin Logan and the Monitor Audio Towers are great with all types of music, but most of all they are full range and non fatiguing. Throw just about any amount of amplifier power into them, and they will sing. I don't know what makes some prefer what they do. Choice is what makes the world go round. I'm just stating the fact that a full tower speaker like I'm pointing out would allow for a full spectrum sound that excites. Sit a bookshelf next to a really good tower speaker and I find the realism will make the tower win, time and time again. Just my 2 cents.
