This is just my opinion but i prefer tower speakers as front ones.

Count me in on that. No bookshelf speaker can compare to a good floor standing tower, especially for music. Adding a high quality 2 or 3 channel amp to drive the front speakers might add to that.

You guys don't think tower speakers will be too large for my 16'x10' room?

That depends on the towers. We're not talking about massive sub replacements. Slim towers take up no more space than a bookshelf on a stand. They typically have better cabinet design and speaker arrangements than their bookshelf counterparts. I find that for the cost of a bookshelf and good stand vs a tower (costing not much more) from the same line, the tower wins hands down.

:flame retardant suit on: You might also want to try some of the "voodoo" audiophile stuff like bi-amping and bi-wiring. The science behind bi-amping (possibly using a high grade electronic crossover) is probably more sound that bi-wiring but both can make some subtle differences with the right source material and equipment. :flame retardant suit off and waiting for the cable quality deniers:

p.s. Yes I know that high end, overpriced audiophile cables are a scam but there are noticeable differences between cables when using high end equipment and analog. 25 cent/ft lamp cord just doesn't pass muster when connecting a $5,000 amp and $5,000 speakers.

I like UltraLink cables as well. Probably overpriced but definitely high quality. I use solid conductor speaker cable to bi-wire the front speakers. It definitely made an improvement over the 20 year old lamp cord in use previously.
