Overkill for small room

I have not heard this specific one, but heard the floor standers. At the same time I also heard the Special 40 from Dynaudio. These should be good speakers for the room size you mention. And you are correct - these might need an amplifier that is comfortable driving 4 ohms load. With such a amplifier, you might be able to listen to this speaker at moderate volumes without overpowering the room with bass.

Hope people who have direct experience with these speakers respond soon.

no they will work fine they have deep enough bass to sound full but not too deep to overload the room

we would recommend using an nad m33 amplifier which has dirac room correction, and very high current

use a goodset of stands and bring the speakers into the room.

1.  Whether you are nuts is irrelevant. The fact that you are asking questions on this site is all we need to know.
2.  Why would they be "too much" for your room? Are you planning on turning it up to 11? Some speakers just need more oomph to really sing.

room correction could help for sure. 

Another option to add Dirac cheaply without messing up the quality of your pre and DAC is a mini dsp SHD studio. This is an all digital unit, you can place it between the source and DAC. It will do the correction in the digital domain and pass it to your DAC. This could be used to fix any overloaded bass in the room.

you mean Contours? I am confused that you are asking a question with such incomplete info, being the key part of the question.
