Wilson Alexandria X2s in small room


I'm thinking of getting a pair of Wilson Alexandria X-2s. I'm wondering how they will sound in my 13.5 x 22 x 7 foot listening room. I've talked with Wilson and they thought they'ed work. Some dealers I've talked with are not as positive, thinking they will overpower my room. My room has been acoustically treated with Auralex LNRD bass traps in all four corners. I also use diffusors and 6 Room Lens to tune my room which features a pair of Revel Salons and a pair of Revel Sub 30 subwoofers. I figure my current system has about the same radiating area as the Wilsons. A friend has Legacy Focus 20/20s which generate large amounts of bass also, and he's used them successfully in small rooms with tweeks. Will I need to use a unit like the Rives PARC to get the best from these speakers? Or will they fit in with the usual amount of setup care that my Salons took?
Any opinions or educated guesses?
Thanks,
Steve

Are you buying these new from an authorized Wilson dealer? If so, then dosen't Dave Wilson come to your house and personally set them up for you? Why don't you fly out to the Wilson factory and spend a few days listening to their products in their optimized listening rooms? Bring details pictures and diagrams of your listening room and ask them if they can match their room's sound quality in your room.

The Wilson may or may not be an optimal match for your room, but if your Salons with dual Revel subs are not overloading your room, then the Wilsons probably won't either.
