Looking for speaker ideas.

Looking for speaker ideas and room size is 11 w x 16 l x 9 ft ceilings.....room has acoustical panels. Music ranges from Big Band , Blues, Rock.

Equipment so far is :

Wyred 4 Sound st-500
deHavilland Mercury Preamp
Sim audio phono pre
VPI Industries HW-19 mkIII GLOSS BLACK W/MOERCH UP-4 / Ortofon Black

Have looked at different Spendor , Proac, Totem speakers but not sure if those would work for the rock music and would a sub be needed with those if they would be able to play rock music ?

Budget is $2000-2500

I would urge you to read the reviews on the speakers outline in the below listed link. I would think there is room for negotiation of the asking price. Not associated or affiliated with seller or manufacture.

The missing spikes are available from Sound Anchor

91dB sensitivity and 8 ohms. One of the most easy stand mounts / monitors to drive. Also Beryllium tweeters.

There butt ugly, clearly a company that isn't trying to sell you furniture.

The market is loving the Golden Ears Triton 3+ or 5 speakers and they are in your price range.  My pal with $9000 Brodmann speakers heard them in a dealer's showroom in San Diego and was blown away.  Sandy Gross is a genius speaker design.  Me, I am loving my Spatial Audio M4 speakers, but I have a REL T7 sub to round out the LF.  The Vandersteen's are legendary... I have never heard a pair that I didn't enjoy.  So many speakers, so little time...

Oh, BTW, I had a pair of Totem Hawks and they have outstanding bass for their size and easy to drive.

With good floor standing speakers such as the Proac Studio 148 you'll not need any sub for such relatively small room,however there are some serious standmount speakers with good bass capabilities such as the Bryston Mini T with 8' bass driver there will be no shortage of bass on your room listening with them.
