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.

Thanks for the many helpful recommendations. TheQuad recommendation sounds like a great option. There is a pair of Quad 12L's currently for sale. How much do those differ from the 12L2? 

 

Also, I was all set to buy the Sonners that you linked as I read the review, until I got to the end and saw they were almost $5k!!!

I have located a desirable pair of the Quad L12L2. I do realize that mrteeves is correct about at least decent bass being needed. How are the Quads in that department? Given the understanding that any small, bookshelf speaker is limited in that regard.
