Min room size for Wilson Audio Sophia or WP8

Folks, it seems if I'm about to get a money wise deal on one of those speakers and would like to see your opinion on what would be the better way to go.

The room is 6 x 3.3m (19 x 11 ft), ceiling 3m (9.8ft).

I'm affraid that WP8 would be too much for that small room. Anyone had similar conditions to choose?

Amps would be PassLabs XA-60.5 or XA100.5 PreAmp 10 or 20-th.

Sorry, Sophia 2 is the one considered

I would tend to agree that the SaSha/Watt Puppy would be too large but are you sure the Sophia would be? It might fit. I would contact Wilson to get clarification on the different models. The Smaller single woofer Sophia may sound fine in that space. Make sure your amplification is up to snuff.

Mechans, Do you not recommend Pass Labs gear with the Wilsons?

Strangely, I found that the Watt Puppies I had did not need a lot of room front to back. They do not boom in the bass, which is very well controlled (and just plain good).
I did use a Pass X350 amp.

more than enough space, but will respond well to room treatments, as all rooms do.
