Great speakers for a small room

I run Triangle Titus ES in a room much smaller than yours, about 7x8 with a 9.5 ceiling. The Tituses at 90 dB and a 5-inch woofer are just right. In your room you might manage the larger Comète.

My amp is an Audio Space AS-3i which can run EL34s for a max of 35 wpc or KT66s for about 16wpc. The Tituses work well with both.

Your budget will allow for something really good though, and 60 wpc of KT88 power should drive about anything. How about the North Creek Kitty Kat Revelator? They are made to go right against the wall and they can fill a much larger room than yours.

ProAc 1sc. I run with 60 watt tubes in a small room and the sound is great.

Look here. You will be knocked out, and have a lot of $$ left over:

Ushers will perform well in that space with 60 watts

I would suggest a sealed speaker to avoid bass bloom sometimes associated with a ported speaker in a small room. I would ordinarily suggest Merlin, but I'm notsure that you have sufficient room to meet the manufacturers suggested listening distance. Maybe, the Dali RS3?
