another consideration is this... how long are you committed to having the system in that room? That is, are you permanently confined to that room? Will there be a move to a different place soon? I had a friend who invested in a system for a small room --- he painstakingly matched the system to that room. Then two years later he moved had a room w/ 3 times the volume and his system was now ill equipped for that room. he sold the system losing half his money and started again. Perhaps if you overload that small room for a time and use room treatments (a cheap option) --- then, when you move, you have a system that need not be replaced.
Of course, that may be your permanent room (or semi-permanent). Still, get a full bodied system that will play most anywhere and use some room treatments. That is the cheapest and most flexible route to take... or, at least, so it seems.
