suggestions for small speaker. floorstander of bookshelf.

i modded a pair of vandersteen 2c and i believe them to be too big for my 14' x 16' room. looking to downsize. i want to keep a full range sound. don't care if they are two foot tall. would like to be able to place them close to the wall. i live no place close to audition any speaker. i'm a strings, jazz vocals listener. i am looking at a pair of jse .8. i know they can't be the only option. thanks

I think the Martin Logan "Motion" 15 & 35XT speakers looks really interesting.

Sonus Faber Chameleon B would be perfect.Cabinet size & 6" woofer give a solid Bass foundation & they are bottom ported so close to wall is no problem!They are also right at your budget limit & worth every penny!
As for the Martin Logan Motion mentioned above I demo’d them a few weeks ago & they need a little room to breath as the large port gets boomy close to wall & the 35XT’s are even worse,ALTHOUGH if they are given room to breath they are FANTASTIC speakers!
What are you driving them with?

Just stuff a pair of socks into the port -should tame the boom?
