The QS series are designed specifically for surround and rear use and not normally recommended as fronts but I've never tried them that way so who knows. The review above is interesting regarding the QS8s. I'd still probably play it safe and wall mount bookshelves for my mains as it might just bother me mentally even if I couldn't hear the difference. (Ya, I'm like that.)
I currently have a pair of M60 floor standers in a room not a whole lot bigger than that as they await their new home in the dedicated HT room. They do not overpower sound wise or visually. Visually for you would depend on your layout though. Bookshelves might be the answer.
Temporarily removing the baseboard along the floor to hide wire behind might be another option to help with the wiring. There is usually a half inch from the bottom of the drywall to the floor that is perfect for stuffing wires into. Even if you have to trim the drywall, it will be covered when you put the baseboard back.
