Thinking about buying Zu Definitions, need advice

I am interested in the Zu Definitions and have a few questions about them. To give you some context my current setup is Anthony Gallo Ref 3.1 speakers, Bel Canto Ref 1000 Mono Blocks, and my source is the PS Audio PerfectWave DAC which streams FLAC files from my music server.

Unfortunately there isn't a dealer near me so I haven't been able to listen to the Zu's.

My first question is regarding my room size. It isnt an extremely big room.
Length: 16.5ft
Distance from speaker to center sitting point: 11.5ft
Distance between speakers: 6.5ft
Wall on left hand side ~2ft from speaker
Right hand side is open for ~10 more feet
Speakers are ~1.5 feet from the back wall.

Hopefully this gives you an idea of the room. Do you think this would be big enough for the Definitions?

Secondly, what amps should I look into that would pair well with the Definitions? Any thoughts on the Tom Evans Linear A?

Wasn't aware of Zu's 60 day demo program but was also hoping to buy them used on Audiogon rather than new.

Unfortunately I can't move the speaker locations to the long part of the wall. Hard to explain but it wouldnt really work based on the rest of the layout.

I figured the room is slightly too small for them but I guess my next question is, would they sound worse being too close together / in a small room vs. the setup I have now? Or would they just not be at their max potential?

Yah, but I ultimately don't want to end up with the druids. I have the gallos now and I feel like sound wise those are in the same range (though I know they probably sound totally different from each other). I really would only do this if it would be a significant upgrade. But yes the room is small so it may not jive with the definitions.

Any other input?

Thanks for all the helpful advice. I will definitely call Zu and see what they have to say.

Does anyone have input as to what amps pair well with the Definitions / if the Tom Evans Linear A is a good match?
