eightman,
Considering the very shot distance you will be sitting from the speakers, i suggest the M60s or even possibly the M22s and a sub, Unless you plan on filling the entire 35 foot long room with solid sound.
At present, our couch is 8 feet from the M60s with a limited width placement of 6 feet. This does not allow for enough room to properly position the speakers to get a nice wide soundstage. Essentially only 2 ppl on the couch are centred in the sweet spot for sound, otherwise the stereo image falls apart to either the left or the right.
A smaller speaker will give you more placement options.
