Small Room Speakers

The wife and I recently downsized to a much smaller house. My former listening room was rather large and well suited by B&W 803 D's. The new room is much smaller so its probably time to consider some smaller speakers.
The components the new speakers would be paired with are a McIntosh C245 with a pair of McIntosh MC402's. My prime listening tastes are blues, both acoustic and electric.
I'm still prone to louder volumes (too many years of racing motorcycles and cars)and I tend like a crisp sound. I don't know if "studio monitors" is where I should be looking or not. I fully intend to audition any alternatives, but am not sure where to start looking.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

"time to consider some smaller speakers."

Not necessarily. Definitely try the 803's before making any judgement. You're going to hear more of the "room" than before so play with placement and experiment with damping some of the reflections (side walls/floor). Just give your ears some time to get used to what's different, you may like it.

Nice system BTW.
