New house: should I upgrade?

[clv101]

In our current I house have a pair of Mission 730 (2-way, 8Ω, max 75W, image) and an old Rotel RA-930AX (manual) integrated amp. It's connected to TV and music is via a WiFi AirPlay clone thingy. This setup works well in our modest living room (5m x 3m x 2.6m high) but we'll soon be moving to a new place with a much larger double height living room / kitchen / mezzanine (8m x 8m x 4-6m high).

Any idea if the current system will fill this new space? If not, would the speakers still be up to the job if I got a much better amp? Failing that - can anyone recommend a decent amp/speakers combination, what sort of specifications should I be looking for? Would hopefully be buying 2nd hand.

Indeed, Schizo, but that won't be until I've finished building the place in May/June! If I'm after 2nd hand equipment it takes a while to find the good stuff/price.

One wildcard would be a half decent Class D amp (like this (eBay)) as I only need one channel. I have an original TriPath TA2020 board, which while only 12V 2*20W is a great little amp. Anyone know how these newer, more powerful Class Ds compare to more traditional traditional Class-AB?

Thanks lucid - I'll keep an eye out for a more power amp.
