I would have to second M50s, particularly if you're looking for a stereo setup for now. M3-sized speakers (from Axiom or anyone else) are going to be fine for quiet background music but they're going to strain if you're doing serious listening.

Hold on... I just noticed you have the speakers on the long wall so your distance from speakers to listener may only be 8 or 9 feet depending on furniture layout and how far the speakers are out from the wall. That might work OK with bookshelves...

F107, what was your layout like in the new room ? Were you further away from the speakers or was there just more wide open space around you ?
