Dear Adam,
I've heard the B&W 500, and the Rel q100e.
The 500 is of course no match for the Rel, but it did do quite for the price. The B&W was thight and firm, and went pretty deep for such a small enclosure. Not very powerfull though. The Rel was even more musical, went far deeper into the bass, but unfortunately also far deeper into your wallet. In a room of the size your listening I'd opt for a smaller model from Rel, or something like Tannoy Mxsub. I found the B&W 500 to be a little expensive for what you get. Hope this helps !
