Small Room Help

My listening room has changed. I am in a room 20x15, and contraints with power, case, etc., place the gear on the narrowest width. Instead of 17' from the speakers (old room) i am about 11' I tried to get my old B&W 802 Speakers to give some adequate sound..But I could not. I need help on auditioning some new speakers. Something that by sound and size won't overpower the room.I listen to classical and jazz; hi rez, sacd, and vinyl

Any help here will be greatly appreciated. I am near a couple of large cities so that I can do some research
Thanks. $ not the biggest concern

B&W Matrix 802's? Those are tough beasts to power & get good results out of IMO, but they still have their fans. Or do you mean N802's?

What is your amp(s) & the rest of your system? (& WHY don't people include that sort of info when they ask questions like this)? You might need more power/better amp(s), with the 802's.....
