Great speakers for a small room

I have a second computer based system in a small office that is 10 x 11. Just can't seem to find a speaker that works good in this room. I run a tubed kt88 amp that produces about 60 watts of power per channel. My budget is really $2,000 but for the right speakers could go $4 or even $5,000. Its almost like the 3 bears - big speakers just load the room too much, small speakers sound like computer speakers with no dynamics and detail, I want something just right!

ProAc 1sc. I run with 60 watt tubes in a small room and the sound is great.

Ushers will perform well in that space with 60 watts

I would suggest a sealed speaker to avoid bass bloom sometimes associated with a ported speaker in a small room. I would ordinarily suggest Merlin, but I'm notsure that you have sufficient room to meet the manufacturers suggested listening distance. Maybe, the Dali RS3?

You say that this is an office; what furniture is in the room and where will the speakers be placed? Will there be a desk between you and the speakers, for instance?

Also, I am curious - how do you keep a 60W KT88 amp from turning your small room into a toaster oven?
