NHT 3.3s -- too big for my room?


My room is a trapezoid, 14' deep, about 12' wide at the narrow end of the trapezoid (the front) and 19' wide at the wide end (the back).

Would NHT 3.3s be too much for this room? The specs, form factor, etc. look great on paper, and I'm going to try to hear some soon. Currently using Dynaudio 1.3SEs with a HSU Research sub.

Thanks!

They can't go against the longer wall. I do have the room heavily bass-trapped, however, especially in the corners. And the trapezoidal shape helps tremondously with side reflections (which also have traps at the mirror points). I'd actually be happy if these speakers could go up against the front wall -- the Contour 1.3SEs need to be pulled out from the wall, and as a result, they are a little closer to my listening position than I'd like.
Appreciate the input! I'm not sure the 3.3s are even made anymore, so finding a dealer could be tricky. I'm looking, tho. I'm also looking into the Audio Physics line, as well, as they, too, have side-firing subs. That's a big part of the appeal of the NHTs... I need extension to 20hz, but am tired of integrating a sub, and ideally, want stereo subs. The room is small enough that two stereo subs is just a bit too much stuff! I'd like a single pair that is truly full range.
