Help with high end bookshelf speakers


I need help please. Past few years I'm gone through a myriad of speakers and now my wife is relegating me to a third bedroom for a dedicated listing space. I'm trying to figure out what kind of bookshelf speakers I can use with a Hegel 390, Auralic, Denafrips DAC in an 11x12 room. Trying to decide if I need to change my whole system or find something that works with what I have.

Thanks everyone

Assuming divorce and murder are non-starters, may I suggest Harbeth 30.2 XDs.

-They are known to pair well with Hegel (I believe Harbeth shows their speakers with Hegel)

-I've compared them in my home (a large open plan space) next to my 40.3 XDs and it is really hard to wrap your head around how rich these speakers sound for their size (and comparative price, you could pick up a used pair in the US right now for around $4K)

-as advertised, they are easy to drive despite sensitivity of 86dB

-ignore the 50Hz bottom end, in a room they go way lower

-great near-field and not fatiguing  (6 ft apart and a couple of feet from side and back walls should be fine) 

Caveats:

-they do need proper stands IMO (Ton Trager or Resonant Woods)

-if loud classic or hard rock is your main genre look elsewhere; they excel with vocals (obviously), jazz, acoustic music and anything by Tom Petty (classified as rock I think but IMO his own genre and usually very high production values)    

You guys are all really encouraging, for 45 years I'm pretty much stuck. I'll just get a lock for the door to the dedicated listening space. In all seriousness, I'm curious why I didn't get the usual suspects when I asked about a high-end bookshelf speaker i.e. Sonus Faber, Dynaudio & Revel. Makes me wonder...
