Harbeth compact 7 ES3 for a large room ?

Newbie here and need some help. I am planning to set up a separate audio system in the basement just for music alone. I have a large L shape room not divided, with about 12' W x 35' L x 7' H.
I have been using an old Rogers LS/2 bookshelf and are used to the British sound, this plus my music taste makes me consider the harbeth, which I had a chance to audition lately. I listen to many kinds of music but mainly classical (from solo piano to chamber music, concertos and large orchestra work), also some instrumental/new age, vocal, Pops, etc. Not many rock music.
Source: i'm fully digital and use a Squeezebox 3 with lossless files on server. Amp:not decided maybe another thread.
BTW, is there a limit of number of words for the post ? Thanks !

Thanks, Bob. Yes I see that thread. Since I'm new here I'm not sure if it's appropriate to post my question in somewhere else's thread.

About the word count, initially I typed a long post but at the end I find that I can not type any more and have to delete some words above to finish.

Layman: thanks for confirmation. Have you used this in a similar room size ?

Pdreher: might be a bug in the system ?

Bob: yes, I'm aware of the user group and also posted a question there. :)

I also wonder if I put a room divider in that space and isolate (not totally) an area about 12' W x 15'L, will a Harbeth 3 work ? e.g., I'm thinking about a room divider they sell at ikea such as a bookshelf, etc. ?

Thanks
