Cost no Object but Small Room

What speakers would you recommend without consideration of value (well forget the US$100 thou plus monsters!) for smallish room?

I am moving places and it looks my dedicated 2 channel system will have to go the study. Room size is only 11 ft x 17ft, barely. However all there is the room is basically the system and a desk/chair.

I listen to all kinds of music but mostly jazz (including fusion), rock, pop, blues.

Definitely check out the Dynaudio Confidence C1 and its kin. They sounded incredible at HE2007. If they sound that great in a hotel room, I bet they sound even better in a home environment. The only thing I thought sounded better was the Wilson W/P 8.

Good luck.

In my opinion a small room calls for speakers with a well-controlled radiation pattern and/or smooth power response, as inevitably the bulk of the reverberant energy will arrive earlier than in a larger room.

ATC SCM 20's are quite nice in that sized envornment but so are many other good near fields. The Confidence C1 was another good suggestion. (If you like a dynamic sound)

From what I heard at HE-2997,the Dynaudio C-1's were way more than just dynamic.
