I use Triangle Titus ES monitors in a 7x9 bedroom. The floor-to-ceiling
height is the longest dimension: 9.5 feet. The bass output from the 5"
woofers is just about right for the room. My amp is a 35 wpc Audio Space
As-3i with EL34 tubes.
These speakers image wonderfully well out of the box but getting the best
out of them in such a small room was a challenge. I have been adding sound
absorption gradually. (Diffusion measures haven't made much difference.) As
of now there are either wool rugs or floor-to-ceiling curtains on three walls
and the ceiling. The speakers are placed across a corner, which is the only
way to separate them enough to throw a credible image without overloading
part of the frequency range by putting them too near a wall. Fortunately they
behave well near a back wall.
As has been mentioned, they have excellent definition at low volumes. In a
bedroom system this counts for a lot.
If I were setting up a system in a small room, having to place speakers near
the wall, and I had the amp power you have, I would look at a North Creek
design. Their Near-wall-specific series is made to work best at less than a
foot from the back walll. These speakers are overdesigned at all price points
(and way overbuilt at the high end).
