Hey Listening.
It is rather difficult to make any comment out of the room size alone.
But let me try to make some comments anyway. I believe the thiels might be on the ever so big side, but really can not se that much of aproblem with the Wilsons.
If you feel that the room has a bass problem of some sort, i would put three loudspeakers forward, in your pricerange.
No. 1: Avalon Opus Ceramique, which is a version of the Opus, made specificly, for smaller rooms. I have never heard this design, but somehow feels sure thaat it is rather good (allright you can call me naive
No. 2: Gryphon Cantata. A two way design with a sub 0.5 bass Q, and a room gain and Q control unit. This loudspeaker can with 100% security be given the right owerall bass balance, and at the same time bass depth in your room. The only problem might be the total output level, but in all honesty i belive it to be sufficient to say 95% of us hi-fi buffs. It only uses two 5 inch drivers in closed chambers, but it makes splendid use of these, because its 57 hz cutoff frequency with a very low and slight active gain, can be matched to the listening romms, room gain. And thereby go down in room, and without boom, into the 20-30 hertz region. I have heard these speakers in much bigger rooms than yours or mine. And belive me they are nice.
No. 3: The 3 loudspeaker is really not a speaker, but an option of using high quality midi monitors like my Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage, or Avalons comming two way studio monitor, and the combining them with a very high Quality sub-woofer. This would give you the advantage of having rather good loudspeakers, with the freedom of adjusting the bass level for your taste.
Before i leave and say goodby for this time, i would like you to consider yet another option. The option of buing electrostics! If you have a dedicated listening room, wouldnt it be nice to have say a pair of Soundlab M3 toroid( they have casters and can be rolled flat aginst the wall when they are not in use!!). Oh dear i would like to have the option to hear speakers like that, sadly this is very difficult here in good old Denmark. But if you have the chance, why not grab it, and give them a listen??
I wish my reply have been constructive, and hope for the best possible outcome of your search, for your next speakers.
Klaus.
