I tend to prefer a near field position with the speakers brought well out into the room in this smaller room situation. Smallish monitors on stands seem to work well. This way you minimize reflections from side walls and the wall behind the listener.
If these awesome big bad boys will push your listening position close to a wall (seems likely) then I think they are too big.
