Near Field listening

Looking for suggestions and thoughts for the purchase of a pair of monitors for a small room. Associated equiptment will be a Music Reference RM10 mkll and a RM4 phono stage and a tt. I have owned the Linn Tukans and liked them fine and that is all the experience I have with monitors. I listen to a lot of Jazz and singer songwriter type music.
Thanks

Referance De Cappos are a beautiful sounding speaker.
My friend has a pair in a 11x12 room and it is quite involving. Very nice.
They're a nice piece of furniture also.

From the many years I've been associated with recording and also listening the many components I have owned,the most accurate monitor I've come accross,for nearfield listening is the Rega R1 or the now current RS1, possibly due to their pulp speaker and amazingly neutral cabinet response.Don't let their modest price distract your appraisal.john

The Harbeths work great in nearfield, and with the kinds of music you mentioned.
