Yes, I went from a big box danish-made speaker down to LS3/5A and Audio Note (UK) AN-K/Spe, bot of which worked well on a 300B (9W) and a 12W class A PP amp. Then I went down in power to 2A3 and 45 tubes and went back to a high efficiency full-sized speaker for greater efficiency. However, I can use the AN-K with both, too.I would suggest you take a look at Stirling Broadcast's website for the new BBC speakers, LS3/6 and SB88 and Graham Audio for the LS5/9. All have US distributors. All are very balanced (neutral) and natural sounding, but are more engaging than similar Harbeth models, for example.
The LS3/5A is a wonderful little speaker that presents a very flat/high impedance load, but lacks the bass that most Americans love. The others might fit, unless you like warmth in your speaker presentation.
Observe, before you think. Think before you open your yap. Act on the basis of experience.

Sorry that I haven't posted the room pic...was out of town all weekend. Will post it tonight for everyone's input.
Here's a shot of where the speakers are and a shot of the whole room from the door entrace...again, it is a tiny room. What I was thinking of was switching to studio monitors and have them on the computer desk. I am at my computer so much that it kind of makes sense plus it removes a lot from the TV area.
Would moving the Proacs to the computer table be a good idea? I guess I can test this but are Proacs good for nearfield listening?
