Best Smaller Bookshelf Speakers For Use Exclusively With Ambient Music?

As the title says, these speakers will be used in a small room (10x12) exclusively for listening to ambient music. Think Eno, Will Ackerman, Sigur Ros, Ludovico Einaudi, Dead Can Dance, Enya, George Winston, etc. 

This is an important purchase as I listen to 2.5-3 hours of this music, six nights a week, to wind down from stressful work days. 

Thanks for any assistance with this.

The budget would be $1000.00 or under, new or preferably used. Yes, the speakers will be on stands. The integrated amplifier in the system is a completely refurbished, rare and classic vintage model. 

And please remember to take into account the music that I pointed out will be played by this system. There is not a lot of bass, but the requirement for a wonderful, golden midrange and highs is critical.

Ascend Acoustics Sierra2.

SEAS woofer with RAAL ribbon tweeter in a bamboo cabinet. Around 7-8 hundred used. A lot of speaker for the money. There's a pair for sale now on USAM.

while not much thump, I find ambient music often has lots of deep bass...I'm currently using Audience 1+1 and REL T/Zero lll in room same size as yours...I found used for under your price limit...
