Bookshelf speakers for small room

I have a small room and listen rather closely.  I'm using a Uniti Atom and some older Martin Logan 4s and looking to upgrade the whole system with a great turntable, tube amp and a different DAC.  A local dealer demo'd me on the Harbeth P3 XD's and the vocals came through with crystal clarity- loved the sound!  But he played it loud and I'm playing at very low volumes (kids, wife, small house).  

What are some good bookshelf options for a small room and streamed music (and vinyl) played at lower volumes?   A good tube amp/DAC to match??

Single driver omega bookshelf speakers might be your ticket.  Terrific near field, very sensitive, wonderful jazz speakers.

Totem Model ones need a lot of power in my experience. I love my signatures but they sounded like crap until I got to 150 watts. Then boom they were perfect.

Hello, I wold like to share my system that I I have m on my desktop (room is 3x4 m) that I use both for near field and normal listening: Yamaha rn803d ampli streamer, sound artist LS3/5a speakers, Rel T5/i subwoofer. Certainly not flamboyant but incredible sound quality especially from near field. All for abt 2000 E. If you want more information about these speakers check Zero Fidelity and NBT reviews on YouTube.
cheers!

Sorry for bookshelf speakers, I would look at Fritz speakers...Carrera or Rev 7 SE.
