I always recommend that people go to an audio/video store and LISTEN to some speakers before buying. Even if you end-up buying online, it's good to get an idea of what different speakers sound like and what kind of speakers you prefer.
I've never heard the Behringer Truths, but they have a reputation for being better than most other monitors in their price range.

My room is about 17' x 25' and I want the speakers to pack a punch and have plenty of bass.
I'd say you probably want at least 8-inch woofers. Bigger, if you want bass you can feel or if you want to "rattle the walls". (Speaker design isn't quite that simple and a bigger woofer doesn't always give you more bass, but there are limits to what you can get from a small speaker.) I've got a pair of 15-inch subwoofers in my living room, which is total overkill for my home-listening habits but perfect for my occasional DJ gigs.
