How small are we talking. That slot loaded port might make these easier to work with than you'd think.

Floor is about 13' x 11', with sloped ceiling (goes from 10ft to 15ft). But it's my home office so there's a bunch of shelves and a desk so floor space is more like 8' x 9'

Ah, so it sounds like you probably need bookshelf speakers that can actually go on a bookshelf. Thanks for the visual image!

Yea I've got a set of B&W 685 S2's right now, they're great but you know how it is, always looking to make a change haha. Will probably just wait until I move to a place with a more room and finally get some floor speakers and an amp >50w

I wouldn’t even know how to maintain this thing. Let alone explain a $7k turntable to the wife.

Just say: Bliss is letting me borrow it, to help compare how it stands against our current TT

Some scuffed up but perfectly intact DWs from Music Direct:
Zu Audio Omen Dirty Weekend Speakers ***READ DESCRIPTION*** | eBay
To my happiness and ultimate surprise, I got it all—these speakers are overbuilt (to say the least), are beautiful to look at and play with power and finesse. Yes, these speakers will light up any party, but ohhhh—they're so much more.

Hmmm, for $460 I think it's worth pulling the hardware and refinishing themSome scuffed up but perfectly intact DWs from Music Direct:

Wow those look nice. I'm not too knowledgeable about impendance beyond the basics, what kind of amp would be needed to drive 12ohm speakers?

Note that it's an auction, with 41 watchers already and six days yet to go. The bidding might get a little crazy for these.Hmmm, for $460 I think it's worth pulling the hardware and refinishing them

I think the usual is to use an 8Ω amplifier. Some people put a 25Ω resister across the terminals to impedance match, but others like the sound better without.
Either way, these speakers are so efficient that only a few watts will blow your ears off.
