wilson sophias to monitors

i am going to sell my sophias due to moving to a new house and smaller room the room is 12 by 20 by 8 , my girlfriend does not want the speakers as the main focus point in the room. so I am looking for a pair of monitors that can be placed about a foot from the back wall and a foot from the side wall.my budget is around $5000.00. Iam looking for something that is close to the wilsons mids .I really like the sound of the sophias. I have a BAT 300 and a Cary 303-300 cd player with vd master cables, any suggestions ???
two speakers that I am thinking about are the Dynaudio c1 and the Merlins any others ?
