Floorstanders for small room 10x10ft

I'm looking for a stereo setup with floorstanders for music (acoustic, classical & electronic dance music) & movies in my bedroom.

My criteria is that is has to have bass & slam for movies and dance music but also a great midrange and realism for acoustic music & movies...

The speaker need to be placed as close to the wall as possible (4-12" maximum). Where I live in Mexico most bedrooms are this small, even in 3bd villas. So it shouldn't overload the room.

I prefer not to go the subwoofer route (integration issues) and I don't need rumble bass for FX in movies but 30-35Hz would be nice.

I've been looking at Tekton Katz Meow V3, Schweikert VR-33 (too big?), GR Audio N3 and the Gallo Classico 3 (perhaps too short to reach over the bed)..

Any other suggestions for speakers and comments on the candidates are welcome.

For amplification I'll decide based on speaker choice between hybrid amps (Monarchy 160 or Van Alstine 400R) and maybe tubes (Decware TORII)

A near perfect speaker for your situation would be the Mirage OS3FS floorstander. It is very transparent and dynamic and has a room-filling dispersion pattern. The only thing is if you want bass into the 30's you'll need a sub or two. They have a 5.5" x 6.25" footprint and can go close to the wall like you need. On their own they're good to about 55 Hz. But they're fast and lively, but smooth and easy to listen to for long periods.

The Tekton M-Lore fills this bill see latest Stereo-mojo reveiw. Only 34 inches tall, front port allows close to wall placement. Good luck.

Ditto the Silverline Prelude...an amazing speaker that makes the owner a better person (I even gained a half inch in height). They did raise the price recently ($1499?) but you can find them used, and there is nothing like them out there it seems. They respond well to upgrades in cable and front end items, as well as amps, Vibrapods, heavy drinking, light drinking, no drinking at all, and used brain surgery head braces found in a hospital dumpster.
