I think that's about 17 by 12 feet, which is nearly the same exact size of the room I'm in now. I don't see why a pair of ESL 57's would be a problem. As for positioning in your room, I can't see it, so it's difficult to say. And even if I could, any suggestions would only be assumptions and guesses, going only from what I've experienced. In a rectangular room, I usually always try to have them on the short wall, if at all possible. I realize that this is probably not always the optimum arrangement, but I'm usually in smallish rooms, and it's just what I usually prefer.
I have nearly the same size room (5.20 x 3.50 m) and my ESLs are on the long wall:

I know it is not ideal to put them so close to the wall, but... My experience is they sound best if the distance between their center is 2.5 to 3 m and the listener is at the third corner of an equal side triangle.
