The Quad 57 becomes less and less of a dipole as the frequency increases. That's the purpose of the damping pad behind the drivers that Peter Walker put there. In fact ads from the 60s showed this affect and used it as a sales point.Putting the above together with the relatively small size of the Quad 57 compared to most planars it should be easier than most planars to use in a smaller room. If you love your 57s then they deserve a shot in the new environs before doing anything else.
I also recall that British rooms tend to be much smaller than American rooms. So the 57 was already designed for use in a typical, smaller British room.
