The M22s can actually pump out quite a bit of volume because of their dual mid range woofers.
I love the clarity of mine (in a 16x14 room) and I think they sound just amazing.
For music, most will recommend a floor stander because they like to listen to music without the sub on. However, if you are going to be using your sub in a 2.1 setup, I would advise trying out the M22s first. Bookshelf or not, some reviews state that they actually do rival floorstanders in terms of output capacity (if that is what you are worried about). I know that this forum has some members that have M22s in a 3200cu.ft. or so room and think they sound awsome.
Your total cu.ft. is over 4000cu.ft. (with the kitchen), so M60s would be a good choice as well if you can afford it.
Try the "Hearing Things" forum for someone in your area that you could go and audition some M22s or M60s.
