I am going through a similar dilemma. With that size of room - I think tubes are definitely out of the question. A lot depends on budget, but I would look at the Levinson No53s. The 1.2kw McIntosh or 601's are another possibility. The Classe CA-M600's too.
Take a look at the mono block version of the Aesthetix Atlas. That's where I'm leaning for my Salon 2's for the moment. I like the hybrid concept.
