Great speakers for a small room

I have a second computer based system in a small office that is 10 x 11. Just can't seem to find a speaker that works good in this room. I run a tubed kt88 amp that produces about 60 watts of power per channel. My budget is really $2,000 but for the right speakers could go $4 or even $5,000. Its almost like the 3 bears - big speakers just load the room too much, small speakers sound like computer speakers with no dynamics and detail, I want something just right!

The Intuitive Design Summit should work very well in a room that size. I heard them in a room slightly larger than yours (maybe 11 by 13) and the sound was amazing. Tight, tuneful bass to the mid 30's; midrange and treble purity that make the word holographic seem inadequate to describe their imaging. They are at the upper limit of what you want to consider spending, but are definitely worth seeking out for an audition. I know they have put an end to the speaker merry-go-round for me. Good luck.

Read your thread about speakers for small rooms in 2009.

We just moved into a townhouse with many smaller rooms, so I am looking for bookshelf speakers like you describe. I am currently using Spendors S3/5's but they do not much base. Would like to find bookshelf speakers which better the S3/5's. BTW, my wife doesn't like big subs sitting aroung.

What did you decide on?

Thanks
Glenn
