Give it time and don't try to rush things. A different room will bring you a whole new set of challenges. You will need time to tune the room to the kind of sound that you like. I would suggest going about this as follows:
(1) speaker positioning - get this as close to optimum as popssible, don't forget the listener position int his equation
(2) room treatments - you will probably have bumps in different places than before. Treating the room will equalize things quite a bit and let you hear the true sound of your equipment in this new place
(3) Then identify the new strengths and weaknesses. You may want to borrow equipment from friends to see what changes are possible. The new problems may not be solved by new speakers - there will just be different problems.
But the 801's would probably be too big for the new space. Who knows, maybe monitors and a sub will fit your need, but you won't know until you try.
Good luck and enjoy the trip - it's half the fun.
