Sure, which is why I said that for small to medium sized rooms 2x100 watt is usually enough. In your case, your Tannoys are also relatively efficient. Here in the Netherlands many people live in larger houses than in Spain, and far less often in apartments, and for us 40+sqm is quite normal (here too, dedicated listening rooms are highly unusual). Our houses are also mostly modern, with much better acoustic isolation from the neighbours. So yes, conditions may vary.
The best solution if you do not want to get in trouble with your neigbours is obviously to opt for small monitor speakers with limited bass output like the Harbeth P3ESR, preferably combined with dsp room eq to avoid bass peaks. But those speakers are usually quite inefficient (83 dB in the case of my little Harbeths).
