In general, I would say get the best speakers and spend less on the amplifier. Objectively, the M40's are "better" than the C7s'. They go deeper and play louder. But, suitability is a concerm. I have a larger listening room than the one you dscribe, but it isn't dedicated, so I've never been tempted by the M40's. I don't think they would work in a room the size of yours. Without commenting on the sonic differences between the NAD and the Mac, if any, aesthetically, I would prefer the Mac and the C7's. Add a subwoofer or two. If the room were twice the size, and dedicated, I'd go with the M40's.
