I have not heard the TSM's, just an owner of the VSM-SE, VSM-M, and soon the VSM-MM. Djjd has expressed very well my experience. Case in point: I had a Sonic Frontier Line 2 SE preamp and found that with the Merlins, the sound was, I suppose, "lean". To incorrectly compensate for this, I bought a REL Storm III subwoofer, EVEN THOUGH the Merlins with the SF preamp went strong to 30 Hz. I decided after a couple of months to go with the many suggestions of a Joule preamp (LA 100 MKIII) and a different speaker emerged. I sold my REL and SF preamp. This is one highly resolving, musical speaker.
Long story short and to directly answer your question about room size - no, your room is OK especially as Bobby suggests that the speakers be no more than 7' apart. In addition, as there is nothing boomy about this speakers' bass, it will not "overpower" your room as other speakers could.
