...being a Brit and therefore having used '57s in rooms that most Americans would consider small to very small you are absolutely correct. Just as long as they are not placed parallel to the wall and, therefore, if some space if left behind them even if it isn't much. One end of the speaker can virtually touch the wall without too much of a problem due to the dipole dispersion. Keep away as far as possible in the circumstances from the room corners too.
I guess it would have helped if Mr. Blue Sky had given an idea of how small his new room is or if there is anything that may force the speaker to be wholly against the wall.
OK, it won't be ideal but all audio systems are some kind of a compromise and the inherent and unique abilities of the '57 will probably outweigh any losses compared to perfection.
Incidentally I think that the Spendor SP1/2 is a wonderful small speaker (my friend runs them and I hear them regularly) but, as you indicate, it ain't a Quad 57.
