High end bookshelf speakers for Small room


I have to downsize my listening room. Looking to get a pair of bookshelf speakers for a room size 13x14 which has furniture carpet and I plan to do some acoustic treatment if needed. Would love to get some subs as well. Currently I have rels510 which might be too much for this small room.. 

My audio chain - Aurender N20, dCS Rossini + clock, luxman509z amp. 

Music preference - Acoustic, rock, pop, piano, instrumental.. pretty much different genres. 

Sound preference - bold close to you vocals, clean detailed sound. Slightly warm is fine. 

Current candidates - TAD ME/CE, Joseph audio pulsar2, dynaaudio, Sonia Faber.. 

Any inputs here are much appreciated.. thanks in advance

Hey, saurabhgarg...

Best to assume you will require room tuning for maximum performance.  A smaller room can be a blessing, especially if it is a dedicated room for music.  A highly experienced close friend is having a wonderful time with his Dynaudio Heritage bookshelf speakers in a new, smaller space.  A floor standing version has been announced.  The mentioned Duch & Duch 8c's are used by Prof Edgar Choueiri to demo the BACCH crosstalk cancelling at audio shows, a mature DSP process I've truly enjoyed for a full year now.  After 50+ years of "chase," I would never be without it.  Nearfield benefits the BACCH greatly.  Best, Pin

So can someone that has been around this joint for a long time explain to this to me?  Do the Mods delete your posts if you mention companies that don't advertise with them?  I posted a reply yesterday giving the OP information about a speaker manufacturer from my home town in Upper East Tennessee -- Watkins Stereo Center.  I gave details on Watkins new Generation 4 speaker that has gotten rave reviews.  Today, I got the message below.  I had NO PROFANITY in my post.  It WAS NOT SPAM.  I DID NOT THREATEN anyone.  There was NOTHING VIOLENT in my post.

 

So, what gives?  I am absolutely baffled at the decisions made by the "Mods" at this site.  How do I find out what was so offensive about recommending the Watkins Generation 4 speakers?  Does anyone have the knowledge of how to access the "way back" feature of the internet so I can show what was posted before it was removed?  This is ridiculous.  I also noticed another thread got the axe within the last few hours.  Thank goodness we have people protecting us.  OP, check out the Watkins Gen 4 before this gets deleted!

@grislybutter -- Thank you very much.  I have NO IDEA why anyone would have flagged the comment unless they have a personal beef with Watkins Stereo Center LOL.

 

All I did was give background on the business (it's been around since 1974), told how William Watkins patented the dual woofer that Infinity bought, mentioned some of the legendary speaker models they have made, and gave info on how the OP could look at their website and buy direct.  It blows me away what the Mods delete sometimes.

 

I appreciate your info.  I sure as heck am going to inquire why it was removed.  If someone asks about speaker suggestions and the Mods censor brands, that is some royal cow dung (I don't want to use the proper word for fear of being accused of cursing!)
