Limited Ceiling Height and Dunlavy VI!!

I am running my mastering out of my home for the next 6 to 8 months,
I started it here so no big deal, but in planning my next move i have already been offered a pair of Dunlavy SC VI to use,I agreed knowing the new room will have 13 ft ceiling and 25 X 15.
Anyhow I have a pair of PMC LB 1
I use with HSU subs but am really wanting the full range 2 speaker system, I feel I fuss to much with the subs after everyone leaves.
Anyhow until things are ready at the other spot could I set up the Dunlavy SC VI in my carpet floor treated 7 ft ceiling(needs some more work) room that is
19 X 12, or
Should I hold on to the PMC's and the Sub and wait to set the Dunlavy's up at the other spot.
I will use the PMC's and Sub for a while until I grasp this huge change in monitoring but I learn fast and besides are they not better speakers(the Dunlavy's).


thanks
Kris

I little edit I could easily take down a fake wall at my home and make my home room
19 X 25 with the 7 ft ceiling , would the Dunlavy's work in that rooom?

Usually, I think you'd want to keep the SCVI about 10 to 12 feet apart and then equally 10 to 12 feet from your listening position. So your room length and height might not be a problem but the width could be a little narrow considering you need space on the sides and the height is cutting it close. But every room has it's own mode, so until you do some testing, it would be hard to say if you need to take a wall down.
