Speakers for a small room

I have recently been changing my system because of moving to a smaller house.

My new room is only 15'6" X 11" 6", not large enough for my Apogees.

Therefore, I have decided to go back to valves and purchased a pair of Jadis 30 watt Mono Blocks.

My Pre is an Audio Research SP 10, I still have Vinyl and Digital sources.

Speakers are my problem, I have an option to by a pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri' or a pair of Cremona Auditor' at trade price. My main concern is that the Guarneri Stands would be to high for near field listening, I would sit approx 8' 0" from the speaker face.

Does anybody have experience of either?

Speaking in only relative terms, the Jadis amps are on the warm and "musical" side of things so they might be a good match with Auditors. I did a rather extended store audition of them (with electronics I know) and they are quite open and detailed. May be a good match with Jadis.

I didn't listen in the nearfield but 8ft is kind of med/nearfield position. I think it's just as important that you're able to get your seating position (and therefore your head) at least 18" from the wall behind you. More if possible. This makes nearerfield music listening easier to get integrated.
