wilson sophias to monitors


i am going to sell my sophias due to moving to a new house and smaller room the room is 12 by 20 by 8 , my girlfriend does not want the speakers as the main focus point in the room. so I am looking for a pair of monitors that can be placed about a foot from the back wall and a foot from the side wall.my budget is around $5000.00. Iam looking for something that is close to the wilsons mids .I really like the sound of the sophias. I have a BAT 300 and a Cary 303-300 cd player with vd master cables, any suggestions ???
two speakers that I am thinking about are the Dynaudio c1 and the Merlins any others ?
rhapsd
Audio Note (AN-J) - although they like to be closer to rear wall than 1 foot. Celestion SL-700 (especially the SE) - if you can find a used pair.
Dynaudio monitors are crap for the money. If the Caravelles up for sale aren't sold yet buy them. They are the best monitor I have ever heard and I enjoyed the for years before I went back to my MAXX 2's only because I wanted more low end heft for classical. I listened to the Dynaudio at a local store when I owned my Caravelles and laughed all the way home! Very over priced for the sound they put out.
i went from Sophias to Dyn C1s. In fact, your Bat 300xSE is excellent pairing for the Dyns.
