Bookshelf speaker pairing with subwoofer


I have a pair of REL Ti9 subs in my dedicated listening room which is 12 x 17. I am looking for a pair of bookshelf speakers that would pair well with the subs. Searching on my own and watching reviews has made a choice even worse. So many to choose from. I mostly listen to jazz and blues with some classic rock thrown in. I have a good SACD collection and several dsd files. There are no audiophile stores close to me.

Any input would be appreciated.

The music room has evolution acoustics mm1 half price with stand1600$.I have some of these they are fantastic and a bargain.they have high dollar components in them ribbon tweeter ceramic mids.enjoy the music

Thanks for all the input. I am going to experiment with different speakers. Up first will be the Acoustic Energy AE1 active speakers. Second, I will try the low budget Triangle BR04. Then maybe the MoFi Sourcepoint 8 or 10. If I am not happy, then a floorstander. See what happens. Personal taste will probably play a big role.

I just picked up the excellent Studio Electric M4  Monitors.     I'm using them with a REL and I think the fact that they also are sealed acoustic suspension allow them to integrate so well.   

Around $3200 and worth every penny.   

 

Just a thought to post for consideration....
I've an older pair of Polk bookshelf with no port, but a 6" passive cone beneath it's 6" woof with a 1" dome above all....

Not the same as port plugging....a different sort of shift in response, perhaps...? 

@oddiofyl ...I was just thinking about acoustic suspension....in regards to the old AR-3a speakers.... still not the same as a passive, but closer to a defeated port...   🤷‍♂️🙄
