I just made the same move...16x8.5x7(LxWxH)...Anyway I found that my Spendor S8e were way too big...I started to use my Spendor S3e to great effect...sold it all and am currently trying Merlin TSM-MMe and Usher BE-718's...
One Caviat is that my room has tile floors and wood panels! In other words it is pretty lively. But with that said I think the Ushers are a little much for the space...if the room is damped heavily it might be great! I decided the Merlins are much better in this size room. The Ushers are totally different and I like them very much...but they do better in my larger room.
Others I hope to try down the road: Verity, Green Mountain, and anything else with a woofer!
