I had a few drinks and bought some speakers

Last night as I was polishing off a few of Texas' finest Balcones Bourbon, I purchased a used pair of Focal Sopra 2's. I current own the Electra 1028's. Can anyone give me some opinions or thoughts of the speaker decision? These have been my end all be all speakers, but I have concerns my room might be a little small being 13x8. Any info is appreciated!

We moved into a newly constructed home last year, in my previous home I had a 24' x 26' listening room and the Sopra's definitely filled that space.  They currently live in a 19' x 14' space and are not at all "too large" for their new home.

I had the 1028BE and loved them in a 14x 22 room running a Pass 250.8 amp. Musical and detailed. I got the Sopra 2 thinking, bigger, more expensive must be better. Unfortunately for me I could never warm up to them and they never sounded as good. They were detailed / almost etched I thought and very clinical rather than musical. I sold them after endless attempts to get them to lock in and wow me. Maybe it was the room/speaker combo I don't know.
