Which Harbeth would work in my room?

Hi,

Harbeths have been on my radar screen for a few years now and I am looking for advice from Harbeth owners regarding which model will work in my listening room.

This is going to be a big change from my Thiel CS5's, which I have decided are a bit too big for my space, so I want to aim for the best suited Harbeth model.

My listening space is about 16 foot wide with nine foot ceilings and an open stairway on one side. Due to room logistics and WAF, my front wall is about eleven feet from the listening position but there is another fifteen feet of open space behind me.

My thoughts are that I should consider the SHL5 Plus or possibly a 40.1/40.2.

Can anyone share their thoughts regarding recommended distances between speakers and listening position for the various Harbeth models?

Thanks for real world advice!

Will be listing my p3esr 's (cherry finish) here if anyone may be interested. I understand they may not be what the OP is looking for, but thought I'd give a heads up to their availability. 
They are new and never used, box opened to inspect and admire and placed back into storage. They were strictly an impulse buy on my part. Should be live New Years Day. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
