I've only looked into the ATCs you mention, so here's prompted by that:Some of the bigger ME-Geithain studio monitors like RL901K or 903K would have no trouble filling the room. They are some of the most accurate & dynamic speakers in existence and much beloved by recording & broadcasting studios and music pros working in larger spaces (and people like Sony & EMM Labs MC/SACD demo crews traversing the audio fair circuit in Europe). Not sure what the availability in the U.S. markets might be, but you can always ask if intrigued (see link). The bigger MEGs are not cheap but you won't need to worry about amps & speaker cables, either (these are active monitors).
At least with the RL901Ks there is no need for subwoofers, either, and also the bass range has a cardioid radiation pattern that seems to work really well (I have a pair of these in my own room). With the sonically matching smaller MEG models you can go on to build one of the best MC systems available if cravings appear later. OK, the esthetics aren't a clear winner.
My 2 cents!
