Which Harbeths for 14x35x12 living/kitchen space?

If I am using a Music Reference RM-9, approximately 100 wpc, which Harbeth can handle a space this large, without using subs? If subs are used?

The room is a living room adjoining a kitchen, for a long open space.

Thanks
Jim

That's a large room... 40.1's would be my recommendation. I've owned them before. Your amp is plenty powerful enough. Anything less would benefit from a subwoofer.

Thanks. I was afraid that would be the answer, not inexpensive. I've never used a sub, would Harbeths mate seemlessly with a sub?

Thanks very much for the reply.

I use a REL Storm MK III with my SHL5's. Is it seamless... no. Is it as good as my time with the M-40.1's... no. But still a nice sounding set up. The sub adds some fullness and body to the sound and expands the soundstage.
