I think ProAc, DeVore 3XL and Fritz are great suggestions for the VTL integrated. I gave serious consideration to Fritz.

Helping a friend build a new system
I have a similar sized room, and wanted speakers that could be placed 1 foot from the front wall. Would advise a sealed or front ported speaker. I went with a Vandersteen VRL CT standmount speaker and I’m very happy. Have a Vandersteen Sub3 subwoofer with it, and a solid state integrated amp (Belles Aria Signature). The VRL CT have decent low end that benefits from its proximity to the wall, and a sub could be added later. ATC is a good suggestion, though the Vandersteen and ATC are not very efficient, and would probably benefit from the tube wattage of a Rogue Cronus Magnum tube integrated to make them sing, offer some dynamic headroom.

Oftentimes small rooms can be problematic to tune for frequency modes and other anomalies. In this situation, Dirac Live room correction can be a game changer. A wonderful product that is both an integrated amplifier and a Dirac Live processor is the miniDSP SHD Power: https://deercreekaudio.com/products/minidsp-shd-power You also can load your CD collection onto a laptop or NAS and access it directly with the SHD Power, or over your network using the included Volumio streamer.
