Mike, I have the Salk HT-3's in a room size similar to yours and they sound wonderful. My components are also voiced closely.
You have to treat the room a little.I use the Rives PARC to tame the bass ,without it at higher volume the room overloads. I live in S.I.,NY you are more then welcome to come over for a listen.
Maybe have a mini-rave, could fit about 3 people. Would love to have honest opinions from other Audiophiles on what improvements I could attain IMS.
