Accuphase Bookshelf Speaker Pairing recommend

Friends: I would love a bookshelf speaker suggestion:   I have come into a used Accuphase e-280 integrated amp which I will use for streaming music in a small den (11 x 11 ft / 3 x 3 meters).  I now need to buy bookshelf speakers:  I would love speaker recommends from knowledgeable folks here.  I prefer warm rich tones, detailed and controlled, leaning toward feeling like "live".  . I already have a good subwoofer.   I appreciate your time.  Thank you.

Check out Fyne Audio F500, should be a great pairing with E-280. There is a lightly used pair on sale for $850. My all time favorite bookshelf speaker is TAD Micro Evolution One (ME-1) but that may be out of your budget.

~100 Watts is enough to drive a lot of speakers. But the room is small so you won't need a beast. The list is long and the budget and used vs. new and cultural preferences (British/American/Scandinavian/etc) would narrow it down significantly

Some follow up:

 

1. I do not have a budget, but I assume this is well under $2000 purchase, hopefully?

2. I do not have a lot of space for speakers...so smaller is preferred, though I know there might be a sound quality trade off....hence the ask for suggestions.

 

THANK YOU

@grislybutter , "Cultural preferences" on a box, crossover and driver....Hmmm, can you elaborate a bit on what you meant by that?
