B&W 805 to 804

I have the N805's in my system now,but have a good chance of upgrading to the 804's. My one concern is the size of my room. It's 15'by 15' by 7'. I sit 9 feet back now from the 805's and there are 8' feet apart. The 804's will be in the same place,but with them being a larger speaker will I be able to enjoy them at lower levels?
Main pieces are Anthem AVM 30,ATI 1807,Denon 2900.
The smaller speakers are fine but but that dedicated mid range is nice. Little Help Guys.

i upgraded from 805S to 804S about a year ago for use in a smaller room than yours, seated at a closer distance than you describe. i agree with earlier comments that the 804S perform very well even in a "near-field" environment. playing at low level was not an issue. biggeest improvement was much tighter and deeper bass. i was using a BAT VK-75 amp and BAT VK-31 pre with very good results.

the 805S's are amazing monitors, but i think you would find the 804S a noticeable improvement. i did.
