Best Speakers under 1k for me

Hey guys, so my birthday is coming up and I want to put some money towards a new speaker purchase. My current setup is Chromecast-Topping D30-LM3886 Chip amp (in progress)-Q Acoustics Concept 20.

I've been hearing great things about the lxmini's and Zu audio Omen. My room is about 11x13ft and one half of my front wall is a double pane window. I can build another amp pretty cheaply for biamping.

What do you think? I'd prefer to not use a separate subwoofer.

If you have drywall try In wall speaker where you get full advantage of infinite baffle and no font wall boom or reflections. Elac Debut IW-6 (4inch deep) claims same cabinet speaker performance. but toeing in and determining the placement is difficult before installation, it has to be planned before cutting the dry wall. room behind may experience leaked sound. you can try drywall it self turned slightly to face the listening position.

Having just left RMAF, all I can say is Dali Oberon, which is a brand new line of speakers.  The Oberon 7 floor stander they demonstrated absolutely blew away everyone I know who heard them.  The bass from these things is practically subterranean and the mids and highs were great as well.  If you can stretch to $1,400, they are a no-brainer.  No sub needed for these babies.  They also have a smaller Oberon 5 floor standing model.

Thank you so much @ashoka that's the sort of "outside the box" advice I was hoping to hear. As for everyone else, I'm really frustrated because I feel like my room is responsible for my lousy sound so my (rather uneducated) assumption is that buying other box speakers is going to give me more of the same muddy, bright, headache inducing sound in a different flavor, is this a fallacy on my end? 

As far as the in wall speakers, unfortunately one of my speakers is in front of a window so that's impossible with my current setup. Is DSP perhaps the solution?
