SF Amati vs Serafino

I moved into a new house and it has a room that is 19’x17’ with a sloped ceiling going from 7’ to 14’.  I am going to use this space as a dedicated listening room and media room.  I currently have the SF Guarneri Traditions with a pair of Rel S812 subs, but am thinking of upgrading to either the Amati or the Serafino Tradtion.  I have the Vox center channel so it really comes down to these two (plus my wife loves the looks).  Is the Amati too much for this room?  I am going to treat the room but it is a closed off room with a single door and wonder if the Serafino might be a better match for the space.  

Thanks,
Mobius

Thanks for the replies.  Right now I have the Guarneri’s on the long wall under the 7’ part of the ceiling and it slopes over my head to the ‘back’ wall.  I will probably keep this configuration though it would be nice to put the screen on the short wall but not sure what that will do to the sound to have the ceiling slope from side to side.  I can play with placement but first want to make sure I get the right speakers.  I have not treated the room yet so the Guarneri’s have not had a chance to open up in this room.

@mobiusmu  Sounds like you have an excellent room to place any speaker. Your current set up may rival the new Amati's. If you go with a larger speaker, i would definitely place them the same way you have the GT's. I would treat the room first and enjoy the results with the GT's before changing speaker.
