The KEF LSX... they are really clear but a bit on the bright side. Could do with the subwoofer added and I typically do not add subs at all.
Are they loud enough for an 18m2 room? Yes... but not "sound system for a party" volume, more "loud and clear everywhere but not painful to the ears". They punch well enough, and for me that's about perfect.
I'll be placing them on top of the cabinets and slightly inward and down facing. If this doesn't work well (ceiling reflections) then I'll go for the shelving (but the rear air intakes are going to be against the wall if I do this) or next to the window (this may turn out to be the most ideal position but I like that space free of things).

They're really nice, love how crisp and clear the hi-hat is over the long slow bass. Only my Monitor Audio floorstanders do that cleanly today. But the bass end, it's got good bass and it carries well enough but could be more full and balanced in the overall mix. For what they are (diminutive size) they're incredible.
