High end bookshelf speakers for Small room

I have to downsize my listening room. Looking to get a pair of bookshelf speakers for a room size 13x14 which has furniture carpet and I plan to do some acoustic treatment if needed. Would love to get some subs as well. Currently I have rels510 which might be too much for this small room.. 

My audio chain - Aurender N20, dCS Rossini + clock, luxman509z amp. 

Music preference - Acoustic, rock, pop, piano, instrumental.. pretty much different genres. 

Sound preference - bold close to you vocals, clean detailed sound. Slightly warm is fine. 

Current candidates - TAD ME/CE, Joseph audio pulsar2, dynaaudio, Sonia Faber.. 

Any inputs here are much appreciated.. thanks in advance

I have a 509Z paired with these: Fritz Carrera BE Specifications (fritzspeakers.com)

Call Fritz and ask his recommendation. I gave up my Harbeth SHL5s for these and am not looking back. I also use an Aurender A20 for streaming/DAC. My analogue system is a Thorens TD-1601 with an Ortofon Cadenza Blue which is nearly a perfect match for the phono stage in the 509Z.

Really nice system! I have Pass amps but the 509Z has my interest for sure.

Hard to beat the TAD's if your budget allows.

Fischer & Fischer SN 70's all the way. Slate cabinets. Cannot be beat.

I haven't heard most of the speakers  mentionned in this thread so I'll suggest the one I own and loved very very much for the eact quality you are looking for:

Focal Sopra 1

It was paired with a Luxman as well (L509X) and the match is made in heaven for clarity, precision. it was so amazing that I upgraded to Sopra 2 and kept the S1 for my office and I'm looking at CAM to upgrade my Arcam. I will keep both pairs for the rest of my life!
