I have these dimensions (but higher ceiling) and I feel the low tones on my organ CDs in my sternum and get full concert hall acoustic on symphonic works.

Alternatively, I can't imagine that you'd ever be disappointed with the 802s in that space, if your budget allows.
Based on my audition of the 803d3 in a reasonably large theatre cladded room but still smaller than my living room, I thereafter had this worry that the speaker will be a bit underwhelming bass and scale wise.

I wasn't surprised when my more informed and experienced second dealer told me I needed 802s or 800s. Blew my budget...
