Good speakers for a small room?

Totem Sttaf, as long as you can have them placed somewhat out from the back wall.

Recently picked up a pair of Soliloquy 5.0s with dedicated stands for $400 on ebay. Fantastic in a small room. Mine are mated with a James EMB-1000 sub.
Now I have two pairs of speakers that I'll never sell.

I have a very small room indeed and I run a pair of Triange Titus ES in it, with a tube integrated. Very good match to amp and room.

Kbo,

I have a listening room almost exactly the same size (not by my choice), 9.5 x 12.5. There have been many good suggestions above - I used a pair of Von Schweikert VR-1s at first. They worked very well, I just didn't have any bass below 50Hz or so.

A better option might be to treat the room so that you could use speakers with a fuller range. A little room treatment will make a huge difference in a room of your size and provide you with more speaker options.

Very good point from Br3098. My 8x9 room has a disused closet with some absorbent material in it, a couple of treated corners, large drapes in front of door and window walls, shallow bookshelves placed to diffuse sound on one wall and a wool rug opposite that. Not that I'm specifically recommending these as treatment, but the difference they make has been critical to listening in that room.
