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

such interesting recommendations. I am going to check a few out myself. Couple I can add:

1. Buchardt S400 MKII

2. Gato Audio FM15

3. Wharfedale Linton

The first two are from Denmark. Both excellent. Lintons are outstanding too- little larger bookshelf speakers- more like stand-mounters.

I also have a small dedicated listening space (an unused bedroom) and my Audience Clairaudient 1+1 V5s are ideal for that room.

Each speaker is about the size of your head. 

If the TAD are even remotely in your budget, I would give those first choice. An absolutely stunning design. Absolutely state of the art technology and execution n Expensive, but you can easily see, and more importantly, hear where every cent was spent. I cannot imagine a.more perfect small room speaker. 

Every speaker mentioned here is a fine speaker...I would stay away from Active ones because you have no choice but to use their electronics. The Borresens and the new PS Audio would be my 1st. choice.

I listed the ps audio Aspen fr5 at the beginning of this thread, I’m pleased to see others agree. Really folks find a way to audition these, they punch way beyond their price point. Much of what’s been listed here pretty polished handcrafted wood included are just…well just plan small box speakers.
Cheers
