Overkill for small room

you mean Contours? I am confused that you are asking a question with such incomplete info, being the key part of the question.

Yes the Contour 20i - apologies for omitting crucial information.

I also meant to pose the title of the post as a question, as in "Overkill?" but I forgot the ?

Noobies.....🙄.....what are ya gonna do?

They need to be on stands, tweeters at seated ear height. Lower, tilted back, aim tweeter to seated ear might work better in any room, it changes the angle of reflections off the floor and ceiling, while toe-in changes the reflections off side walls. I would rig up temporary piles of books/boxes, see which sounds better, then go for stands that height.

They have a rear port, so out from rear and side walls, OR, temporarily cover or stuff the port to put them closer to the corners. You gain placement flexibility and you will find you do not lose much bass extension.

Toe-In: To avoid scuffung the speaker bottom and stand top: I would put 3 small ’skid plates’ on the speaker bottoms (2 front/1rear), so the stands can stay at their ’normal’ position’, and the speakers stay put normally, but will move with some effort. play with alternate toe-in, starting with speakers facing the listening chair.

I don’t think they’ll be too much. It is possible though that you may require additional sound absorption panels in that room. Dynaudio speakers love to be cranked up. If you like to listen at low levels these are probably not for you.
