Overkill for small room

I am always a little skeptical of speakers that will require you to purchase a new and more powerful amplifier....where does all that power go...into the crossover and out the door. So many choices out there...

All advice greatly appreciated thus far. I'm writing down the important stuff.

@sounds_real_audio - I don't feel that the speaker purchase requires a new more powerful amp. If I already had a serious amp I'd very likely keep it, but I'm upgrading from a not-so-robust Yamaha AVR that I'm sure is not up to the task (both from a quality and oomph perspective).

I'm weighing the options between separates and a great integrated. I presume some of you consider "great integrated" an oxymoron 😉, but unfortunately I have budgetary considerations to keep in mind.

There are many great integrated amps out there.  You don’t need to do separates, particularly if that is cost prohibitive.

A small room can actually be your friend. My system resides in a smaller room than you are working with, but like stated above, with the correct room acoustic treatments, the system can sound great. I use two small subwoofers to smooth out the response and a medium powered tube amp ( and a high powered ss amp, which sounds about the same in volume as the tube amp, although I do not use the ss amp at the same time as the tube amps). The size of the speakers does matter, but the speakers you are contemplating should be fine, assuming some care in placement and some acoustic treatments. Is this room going to be dedicated room?

@daveyf - yes, it will be a dedicated room, so I'll have flexibility as far as positioning and room treatments without disrupting the living space.

I have zero experience with tube amps, so I'll be starting with AB or D and go from there as I learn more about this world of HiFi and develop a better ear. 

I have a short list already, but opinions on amp choice is welcome too. This forum has infinitely more knowledge and experience than I, but I also realize that opinions vary widely, as does confirmation bias and brand loyalty. If you make a recommendation, please let it be something you know personally.
