B&W N802's and Room Size

I was just seeing if the bright minds here think that 802's would be too big for a 16x18 room. I currently have 804's, but have a chance to upgrade at a reasonable price.

They will be powered by a bridged MC162 on each speaker.

But the amps won't cut it, I'm afraid. You need more power than 160 W/side. I run my N802s with VTL 450s and I need every last drop of power. The N802s are very power hungry, they come alive at only louder listening levels, and a larger room also demands more power.
