Overkill for small room

Hello all - long time lurker, first time poster. I've enjoyed reading so many of these posts, and I feel like I'm learning so much from you guys. Thank you for that.

I am strongly considering a pair of Dynaudio 20i - I am aware they require serious amplification - but I suspect that they'll be too much for a small room

Room specs: (11 wide by 14 long, normal ceiling height with acoustical tile, carpet tile covering one entire wall, wall-to-wall carpet on top of cement slab, no basement).

Am I nuts? 

Thank you in advance.

EQ + room treatments will be your friend. 

The room treatments will keep the mid-high frequencies tamed, EQ will help you deal with room modes.  You may even consider bass traps.

Also, check out the AM Acoustics room simulator to help you find ideal placements for your speakers and listening location as well as to inform you of where to expect worst problems in bass.
