Neither. For years I used a 2216B in a similar sized room with CD as a source. Given that LPs will sound less loud than a CD player at the same volume, there are limits to how loud your system will play.
I ultimately tried many different speakers with the 2216B and the best sounding results that I had were with Omega 3I ($500 list) and Wharfedale Diamond 10 series ($300 list, discounted on Music Direct).
The Marantz 'baby' receivers are prized for sounding tube like. I found that both the Omegas and Wharfedales took advantage of this, while providing a good amount of detail.
