What is the best audiophile speaker for a tiny square room?

I appreciate everyone's input. Although my Soundlab panels sound great, one thing that bothers me in this small space is that they are like monuments standing in front of me blocking my imaginary sound stage. So it seems as if the instruments located on the sides of the stage feel like they are coming from behind the big 5 ft black "curtain" of the speakers. If I had 10 feet of empty space between the speakers, I could "visualize" the whole stage. Or if the speakers were shorter, I could visualize over them.

Have you tried listening with the lights off, to eliminate distracting visual cues?

During the day, turning the lights off doesn't help.

" What amps do people suggest? "

Quicksilver Sixty Watt Mono amps would be my choice. I run Mini Monos with my Martin Logans or Triangles and they are sweet sounding amps.   

@chungjh - I understand about the psychological effect of huge speakers. That is one reason I rejected some and chose the Janszen Valentinas. They are not large, and I feel more comfortable in my room than with huge speakers looming over me.

But of course, the great sound is the main reason I chose them. I think it would be easier for you to move to the Janszens, which are electrostatic hybrids, than move to a dynamic speaker like the LS-50. (I also think that the Janszens are cleaner and better balanced than the LS-50.)

I am not connected to Janszen other than as a customer. I don't recommend them to everyone, but they seem to meet your requirements well (easy to place, good in smaller rooms, and great sound).
