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 ?

Really Tvad and Tpreaves -

Do you really think he can't get as much satisfaction from the right pair of monitors AND get satisfaction from his relationship?

Get a smaller girlfriend, so you can keep bigger speakers.

If I were you would purchase the biggest Wilson speakers I could afford to test your girlfriend's patience. All aside I was able to listen to the new B&W 805Ds @ $5,000 Retail. and they were great. Another great choice if money is no oject and I really liked them were the Magico Mini IIs(Another Girlfriend test). The Wilson Duetts have always sounded great every time I listened to them at the RMAF, which will sound even better in your home once you put time into set up.
