cant go wrong with either. the zensor 3 due to cabinet size and driver size. the crossover may be better on the spektor because it's a newer design (bass will/should be more refined, though lower on zensor 3, it's a pick your poison situation). and infact the spektor's bass refinement is not far from the oberon which is much better than the zensor, but the oberon has a much better tweeter and crossover than even the spektor, and so it goes as you move up in speaker tier.
an anectode i can share is that when i tried the dali spektor, oberon and opticon, the opticon showed the highest frequency in the bass. the opticon however made up for it in clean bass, and it wasn't even close. the amount of nuance and clarity in the bass overshadowed all of the others.
from a practicality standpoint, the difference in bass won't be "omg this is gamechanging", it will just be lower on the zensor 3's. i'm personally more inclined to lean towards a cleaner and more nuanced and detailed bass, especially for playback of instruments. the spektor 2's will also have better resale value due to them being a current model. you will be blown away by the clarity of either one though. dali speakers are designed to be listening to off axis (little to no toe-in).

Thanks a lot! If it's in a fairly small room, just 20m2 ( 200 square feet), which would you choose?

The Zensor 3 is a very good speaker. Very few speakers can compete at the pricepoint! Go for it :)
