Personally I really think that most of those speakers on your list would simply overpower your room. I think that you would be overspending to get something that is really made for a much bigger room. Maybe try looking at a GoldenEar Triton 1r or something more on that size/price level for the room that you have which is not very big to begin with at 12 x 16.
Hey, I considered the GE tritons but I too am Vegan and don't buy products with wool in them.
