Overkill for small room

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. 

Many thanks for the helpful comments thus far. You've made me feel better already. 

My main concern is ending up with bass that's muddy/boomy/hard to control. With a small room, I won't have all that much space to pull them away from the front wall. They're rear-ported and allegedly require much care in placement to really shine, so I was concerned with distances from the back wall and side wall being problematic. 

Do I turn it up to 11? On rare occasion when the right song deserves it, but most listening is at med to med(+) volume. 

I've not used room correction previously, but I trust it's highly effective since it seems extremely well utilized among forum users here. I imagine there's a learning curve with Dirac/ARC as well.
