Small Floorstander?

A lot of great ideas! I’ve got listening sessions scheduled for this and next weekend. Thanks!

@dhcod  +1 on the Gallos if you can find a used pair for sale. I picked up a gently used pair of 3.1s several months ago for just under 1K and couldn't be happier. And because I was under budget I was able to upgrade my interconnects too :-) 

I have a similar room size as you and found the Gallos to fill it quite nicely. They're very lively, dynamic speakers that I'd say fall on the just warm side. They definitely are not bass shy and with the option to add a sub amp to the secondary coils you an always add more if you find it lacking, but that hasn't yet been a problem for me and I listen to a fair amount of hip hop. 

Although I have only heard the Preludes, either the Silverline Audio Prelude or the Prelude+ would be worth n audition.  Thin and lite (under 35 lbs. each), they produce a surprising amount of bass, and have a wonderfully wide sound stage.

I owned a pair of Preludes for years and they're a GREAT speaker (unique to the Silverline speaker line in that they use magnesium/aluminum drivers, unlike the "plus" version)...only sold them as I wanted a very high efficiency speaker to use with a relatively low output single ended amp...I did use this amp with the Preludes for a while though and it sounded tremendous within the amp's limits with them. I hated to sell 'em, but if I don't use things I like to pass them on. Alan Yun told me when I bought them that they sound more coherent single wired and he was absolutely correct. 

I've owned a pair for over a year now the ProAc DT8's would meet your requirements.
