In reply to:
When I was running M2 mains with the SVS sub in a small listening area (one end of a 13x23 room) the results were as good as anything I have heard. I don't think the M2s gave anything up to the larger speakers.
As you stood/sat further back, though, you couldn't play at the volumes you wanted. Getting a "wall of sound" on music CDs was out of the question. That's where the bigger speakers (ie more drivers) really start to shine.
That gives me a lot of confidence hearing that since my room will be approximately those dimensions. Thus, a pair of W22s on the wall with a good sub would be the ideal.
The only issue I've been wrestling with is the "toe-in". Most people set up their floor standing or bookshelf speakers slightly toed-in for the best sound. Since I would like to use the on-walls for music as well, I am contemplating building the walls with an angle to simulate the toe-in procedure. AFAIK, the drivers are not able to swivel on the W-series.
Just me being anal.
