Thinking about buying Zu Definitions, need advice

I am interested in the Zu Definitions and have a few questions about them. To give you some context my current setup is Anthony Gallo Ref 3.1 speakers, Bel Canto Ref 1000 Mono Blocks, and my source is the PS Audio PerfectWave DAC which streams FLAC files from my music server.

Unfortunately there isn't a dealer near me so I haven't been able to listen to the Zu's.

My first question is regarding my room size. It isnt an extremely big room.
Length: 16.5ft
Distance from speaker to center sitting point: 11.5ft
Distance between speakers: 6.5ft
Wall on left hand side ~2ft from speaker
Right hand side is open for ~10 more feet
Speakers are ~1.5 feet from the back wall.

Hopefully this gives you an idea of the room. Do you think this would be big enough for the Definitions?

Secondly, what amps should I look into that would pair well with the Definitions? Any thoughts on the Tom Evans Linear A?

I suggest that you try the speakers in your room, they behave unlike most audiophile (bass-reflex) speakers.
The Definition sub-woofers are loaded by an acoustic suspension enclosure and the sub-woofer amplifier level is fully adjustable.
Also, bass above 60Hz is handled by a highly damped infinite-baffle enclosure.
Acoustic suspension and infinite baffle enclosures tend to deliver tight, well-controlled bass with very little overhang.
The speakers were designed to be adjustable in the bass. If you spend the time to properly position the speakers and adjust sub-woofer levels, I doubt there will be any issues regarding bass quantity.
