Best speaker for small room?

Hi, looking at different speaker systems that would work in a small (10'X10') listening room. I want something tonally accurate that image really well. Can be full range or small as I can add a small sub if need be. I've been considering single driver speakers (although I've never owned a pair), monitors, and floorstanders. My associated components are a McIntosh MC-7300, Juicy Music Peach Tube Preamp, and a Denon DVD-2930ci (for CD and SACD playback). Any suggestions on the speakers? I'm looking preowned $1500 or less.

I appreciate all the responses so far and have a few things to research. Regarding the Gallos, I definitely agree, they are great speakers. In fact that is what I have in my main system with the SA amp and Gallo Center. But I'm thinking of something different for my two channel room.

With all of the power your amp has why not try a pair of Magnepan MG 12

I have Ohm MicroWalsh Talls in a small room. It's hard to get good imaging for more than one listening position in a little room, but these do the job. You wont be able to spend all your money as they're under $1K in several choices of finish.
But save $4 to buy two pavers at the garden center to stand the speakers on to perfect the bass if your room is carpeted.
