Small Room Speakers

The wife and I recently downsized to a much smaller house. My former listening room was rather large and well suited by B&W 803 D's. The new room is much smaller so its probably time to consider some smaller speakers.
The components the new speakers would be paired with are a McIntosh C245 with a pair of McIntosh MC402's. My prime listening tastes are blues, both acoustic and electric.
I'm still prone to louder volumes (too many years of racing motorcycles and cars)and I tend like a crisp sound. I don't know if "studio monitors" is where I should be looking or not. I fully intend to audition any alternatives, but am not sure where to start looking.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Look into the proac line. Great sound, great value.

Fairly broad question with no budget, but you may look at Tekton Design.
I have the Lores and like them a lot in a 12' x 13' dedicated room, see my system page.
So did Positive Feedback online:

The Part Time Audiophile liked the Lore-S:

the 803's should sound fine in a smaller area....wait until you try them in the new home.

Agree the speakers you have should be no problem in a smaller space.
The onlyy issue might be they take up too much room?
OR, the bass travels through the walls too far, (if a condo or apt)
Is the bass is too much once you actually get intothe new place, then other choices might be appropriate. But right now i would just stick with what you have.
I had some big speakers in sl=mall spaces andno issues.
Right now I have Magnepan 3.6s in an 11' by 28' space. no issues. (and could easily see getting 20.7s in here)
