Avantgarde Uno Nano suitable for small room?

I am getting a pair of Lamm ML2.1 SET Tube monoblock amp. I currently have the Audio Research CD7 and ARC Reference 3.

I'm considering a pair of Avantgarde Uno Nano. I have a well treated dedicated listening room size 15x11x8. I would like to know whether the AG Uno Nano would be suitable for my room. Please feel free to comment and make suggestions.

I am also open to speakers recommendation to go with the Lamm ML2.1.

I'd have them along the short wall facing down the length of the room. they aren't near field monitors (say like LS3/5as) and do need space for the horns to integrate with the SW. Don't worry about them being in the corners (I have my Duos in the corners of my room). The soundstage on AG horns extends significantly outside the speakers.

Your room will be fine with the Unos (Nano) - probably a bit samll for the Duos though.

I got a pair of AG Uno Nanos a month ago. They are really incredible - absolutely no regrets. They are super revealing but not ruthless at all. Can't ask for more!

As others said above, you would have to have them on the 11' foot wall and sit at least 10 feet away. I found that they shouldn't be toed in directly at you for best soundstaging but I think that even with 11' you can make them work well.

For amps like the ML2.1, the Avantgardes will definitely deliver the best performance for the money. IMO. I wanted very-high-efficiency speakers for many years and read zillions of reviews and visited tons of shops around the world and they are what I settled on. I'm thrilled with mine!
