RE: caveat added

Agree; that room begs for raw, light dimming power. Another reason I'd personally opt for a 20.1 since they can be bi-amped. My Quick Q4s put out 120 watts into four ohms -which would be fine at moderate levels late at night; but daytime, night club level listening levels the bottom end would gobble most of the juice. And I'm not just talking about popular or dance music either, the acoustic bass solo on Brubeck's 'Trio Brubeck' is a thing of marvel and will drain the power reserves on even the mightiest tube amps. Fortunately I have high current 1K watt mono Emotivas on the bottom to stoke the coals.

Now having said that I wouldn't just limit my choices to Magnepans (as spectacular as they are), I'd also consider the big cat Martin Logans, or Soundlabs. And for the same price as a new 20.7 you can get a essentially 'new' Duetta (with warranty), others to consider- Analysis audio, and Sanders.
