You didn't say anything about a sub. You need a sub.
What kind of music do you listen to? What kind of movies do you like?
Honestly, I think floorstanders are overkill for a room that small.
Axiom speakers are very neutral. Based on your other options, you will like them. Good company. Good value. Mirage and Energy are now owned by Harman (I think); I don't perceive their newer products as innovative as they used to be. People seem to love the Ascends but I think they are terminally ugly. I've heard some Aperion speakers and thought they sounded very good. Unlike Axiom, they are assembled overseas.
Are you going to use your old speakers for surrounds initially?
M22's and a good sub. Get the VP160 if you can manage the space and cost.
Browse around the forums a bit. Welcome.
