Small(er) room speaker dilemma

12.33.108.130

I will soon have to move my main system to a somewhat smaller room (14x18x8). The speakers (Thiel CS3.6) will have to be much closer to the wall than they are now and my listening position will only be about 12-14'. So, the questions:

1. Will this space be too small for these speakers?
2. What are the typical "symptoms" of speakers being too large for a space?

Thanks.
