“ …Any LS3/5A type ( sealed woofer ) should fit the bill! Harbeth, Spendor, Falcon, Stirling, etc., etc., all make them!…”

PLAN A = +1 as my first choice …because of your modest room size.

- with a nod to the HARBETH smaller standmount = HARBETH P3ESR XD
- One note of caution: all HARBETH speakers crave an “open form ” speaker stand (e.g. Tontraeger) to perform at their best.

PLAN B = TRIANGLE COMETE 40th Anniversary from France.

- Given your small room dimensions I would heartily these front ported standmounts to permit a closer positioning to the boundary walls.

What is your equipment? What kind of sound do you like… are there aspects you want… great imaging? Coherence? High level of detail? Musical? Warm? Cool?

Sounds like you like Jazz… other genera? Room dimensions (10 x 12)? Any kind of speakers you have particularly liked in the past? Putting some photos of the room under your UserID would be really useful. Do you have complete control of the room? Or is placement negotiated?

My first decision might be technology based of preferred sound… Planar? Dynamic, AMT/Dynamic. Then towers vs stand + subwoofer.

Then bass heavy like B&W, really natural / musical like Sonus Faber… Martin Logan, Maggie’s? Totem are great punchy and pleasantly natural.

Small room requires an accurate and refined speaker.

Wavetouch V2 speaker may be perfect for your room. V2 needs just half to 1 foot space to the front wall. V2 is also ready for the larger room for the future. The room in video is 13’W x 20’L x 8’H and int. amp is 25watts/ch. 

1080p video setting is closer to original sound.
