Attic room too small for Hi End Speakers??


I am considering finishing a walk-in attic space from the second floor of my home over the garage. The finished space will have 4 foot knee walls and the ceiling height at its center is 8 feet. The length is 16 feet and the width only 12 feet. Would this room be too small for a high end system. Thinking along the lines of either Wilson WP 7 or the Vandersteens 5's with tube amps.?

I will need to have some acoustic treatments to deal with the slanting wall/ceiling. Is there any special padding for under the wall-to-wall carpeting to reduce reflections??

If you can pick up a used pair of Platinum Audio Solo's, you can sit anywhere from virtually touching the speakers to as far back from the speakers as your space allows. The sound is truly full range, without requiring physically imposing appearance. You will have great flexibility in positioning the speakers, and yourself in what seems to be a relatively distinctive, confined listening space.
I have used tube amps as low as 35 watts per channel, although the Aronov LS-960I with 60 WPC provided awesome naturalness, musicality, and bass control.
Check out the Gershman Avant Garde RX 20's for this size room. I have a pair in a similar situation with a Ss amp but have had an EAR 534 pushing it with great sounding results.
