I have room about same size. My Anthem 720 and M5HP and VP106HP are very efficient . I have a SVS 2000 Pro sub. I like that I can position the Bookshelves better and height wise to for clear soundstage and presence. they totally disappear. wish I could upload new pics though

The disappearing of the M5s is certainly a beautiful thing. Too damned bad they need more than 4 times the power of an active LFR to achieve the same SPL as an ALFR!

For another data point here's my layout: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1o7ZU0ZxGuO5gu96gLmHStV1uq4nR3M8P/view?usp=share_linkI have M80s in the location labeled 'speakers'. They are probably more than I needed but are not too much. (M60s would have been fine, Mojo was right; but dammit, I wanted M80s!) I'm using the Axiom ADA1000 and turn it up to about 1/3 to listen at about 80-85 db. There a longer than normal wire run (far corner of the room on the top-right), so that might be sucking up some juice. That same top-right room has M5s and I find them a tad weak; but I'm only driving them with a Yamaha RX-V671, with a better amp they'd be fine. The M5's are unnecessary for my study (not shown) which is 13'x14'. But they're not too much either. As for towers tipping over, I've not had a problem and I have to klutzy 60 lb dog and a schizoid cat that tries to jump on top on anything and everything. Axiom also sells outriggers if you want even more stabilization. https://www.axiomaudio.com/outriggers-setSo to parrot the other opinions, you'd be fine with either M5 or M60s, it would just depend on your layout options and preference.

M2s with a 350 would have been fine in my space but dammit...I wanted active LFRs with 7 sealed subs!

Cork, I'm surprised you're still alive! I guess you didn't touch the chairs or the embalmed monkey?
377 Ohms
Toe it in, toe it out Let the wife scream and shout Slide those chairs all around watch her howl like a hound.
Those god-damned pictures have to go The monkey ju ju also so Ju ju, pictures, firepit Watch her throw a hissy fit.
Speakers pounding out the sound Images forming all around Cork just laughs hysterically As soundstage expands majestically.
The ol' lady screeching, bloody freaking As her bones start a creakin' Bones that jump right through her skin Erasing Cork's shitty grin
Ulna shoved up Cork's rectum Tibia deviates his nasal septum Her patella rips his scrotum Cork is propped up like a totem
Her skull holes are alit with anger As she grabs a wire hanger Gouging woofers, squawkers, tweets Cackling now Cork's heart she eats.
Cork's spirit now starts to rise A peaceful look deep in his eyes For in the light, across the gates A majestic sight awaits.
He sees a place in the light Filled with speakers, amps with might Best of all but could it be? Not a boundary to infinity.

The monkeys don't frighten me (embalmed, flying, or otherwise); but touching those chairs ... <shivers>
I have the poem copied off, I've been waiting for the right time to frame and hang it next to my speakers. That time generally comes when she's already good and annoyed at me, because I like to double down. I even bought fake antiqued paper. (BTW, my version attributes 'Mojo'.)

You just made my month! BTW, you understand the reference to 377 Ohms?

I did not, and I was too embarrassed to ask. But this time I googled it, and came up with this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_of_free_space - which is both fun to know and an awesome title!

Yup. I don't know if it's awesome or scary the abstractions humans make to describe a world they will never have direct access to.
