Yes - they would be too big. You might consider the Harbeth P3SR, which have a similar sound to the 30.1’s. Maybe supplemented with a REL T5 or T7 sub on the floor.
Many of the speakers mentioned may be too big - the Calibre included.
Looking for nearfield passive speakers that are warm and rich
I really like my ATC Scm7s that I use at my desk but I want something warmer, richer more bassy. Something that does well with vocals and jazz.
Budget is $5000. They are being driven by arc ref5se and pass x350.8, dac is denafrips terminator. Thanks.

@jackd Not sure if he has a show room. He operates out of his house. And wont know how it sounds with my equipment . |
As long as his gear is SS or a mix you will get a good idea knowing that your gear is slightly to the warmer side of neutral. As the North American distributor always preferred to show them with Blue Circle hybrid gear you combo of ARC and Pass should fit the bill. Since one of your current favorites is three times the cost of the other I would go listen and possibly keep a lot of money in my bank account. In audio cost is not always or many times a determination of quality or sound. Even used I paid a good bit more for the C7ES's than I did for the Bliss Jubilee's and after many hours of comparison the higher cost was not justified to me. Trust your ears and nobody elses.
