@dhcod +1 on the Gallos if you can find a used pair for sale. I picked up a gently used pair of 3.1s several months ago for just under 1K and couldn't be happier. And because I was under budget I was able to upgrade my interconnects too :-)
I have a similar room size as you and found the Gallos to fill it quite nicely. They're very lively, dynamic speakers that I'd say fall on the just warm side. They definitely are not bass shy and with the option to add a sub amp to the secondary coils you an always add more if you find it lacking, but that hasn't yet been a problem for me and I listen to a fair amount of hip hop.
