Wanting to upgrade my speakers

I currently have Yamaha A-S2200, Definitive Technology BP30 Towers,Definitive Technology Powerfield 1500 Subwoofer and Bluesound Node Icon 

Was looking at Sonas Faber Sonetto V G2's, Sonas Faber Lumina V Amator and JBL L100 Classic Black Edition.  My room size is approximately 21L×13w×8H

I really like the looks of the Sonettos but was wanting to get the best speakers for my Yamaha A-S220 and room size

This is a bit long-winded, but I still really really love the Ascend Towers and think they are an unbelievable value. Review, here.

@audiotroy Yamaha under reports their wattage. it is more like:

105 W into 8 ohms   
135 W into 6 ohms   
190 W into 4 ohms   
220 W into 2 ohms for dynamic peaks. That is a good amount of power delivery for an efficient speaker that is stable down to 2 ohm to get to pretty high SPL averages

Just a comment on speakers.

Their output is dependent on the electronics and room acoustics as well as the sonic expectations. I am familiar with speaker from Wilson, B&W, Focal, Sonus Faber, DynAudio, and many others. They vary somewhat in the general character but are closely clustered on realistic sound. I can assure any perspective buyers that Sonus Faber have absolutely no innate glare, are not thin sounding or heavily colored in themselves, Of course they must be feed an appropriately natural signal with the desire for a natural, realistic, and musical output.
