As I am now ready to audition a number of speakers [thanks for everyones input] - I was wondering about room size, particularly that might be labled a medium sized room. My listening space is approximately 6m x 7m, so what size room do I have?

I moved my music system from a room 7m x 5m, height over 3 m (with old style walls, floor and ceiling) to a room 5m x 5m, height 2.3 m in a modern house (with flimsier walls, floor and ceiling). The difference was quite noticeable: there was a loss of clarity.
Like Cno, I think the height of the ceiling is an important factor, maybe the most important as far as muddling echos are concerned. Personally I find I hear the cleanest sound when I sit on the floor, with sofas to my side and back about 2.5 m from my speakers (Spendor 5e's).
