Small speaker advice


Greetings and salutations fellow audiophiles!  Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.  
     I am moving into an apartment for a year or so after living in a house with a dedicated listing room (divorce).  I’m looking to find a speaker to replace my ML Summit stats.  Not easy to replicate I know which is why I’m soliciting advice.  My max price range about 10k is give or take a few thousand. 
     Room is about 11’w X 12’d.  
I have a pair of Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Baby Grands I can also use but I need to upgrade their tweeters to get the best out of them.  So before I go that route and spend the $$ I’m considering selling them for something better suited to a room so small.  The Wilson Tune Dots are a contender. Never had a pair of Wilson’s. Love their sound and was thinking of inevitability replacing the Summits with them one day.  Head in a vice takes a toll after a while. 

My equipment consists of:

PS Audio BHK 250. Tube input stage with MOSFET output love its sound.
Krell KSA 2 preamp
My media choice is Vinyl and DSD.
I listen to classic rock, soul, jazz, electronic, and generally well recorded music.  No hard rock, rap, or otherwise. 

What I like is a speaker that can convey high detail with an open airy sound. Imaging is particularly important.  I’m fortunate enough to have the ability to hear higher frequency range with my 50 yr old ears (per my recent hearing test) 

Again thanks for sharing your experiences and advice!

Joseph Audio Pulsar2 Graphene fit in your budget and what you describe as your listening tastes.

Have you ever tried to set up a high end system in a room that small? Getting great results warranting that $ expenditure could be tough. Personally I'd just dick around seeing if I could overcome the room problems before I invested that kind of money. 

That said a speaker I could live with in a small room with a pretty decent fullish range which uses a SOTA Dynaudio tweeter is a Silverline 17.5. I have this tweeter in mine (the larger Boleros) and it's smoothness and clarity is just outstanding. They are hard to find used though so you'd have to buy full price (or with a discount from the distributor). It's the speaker I would own for a small room.
