Now, they were speaking about the Amati Futura, at the time. Does this mean that the older, Anniversario would not perform well in my size room? Thats critical for me.

The 13x15 will be fine on the width but the 7 ft deep is small for the Amati as your chair will be right on top of the speakers. If you go narrower with the speakers you will need bass traps or the Amati bass will shake the room and bloat the lows. I tried the Amati in my room and ended up not being able to use them in my room for the reason I mentioned. The Strads would be much easier to set up in your room
