High end bookshelf speakers for Small room

@sextantcv4  +1 on the Aerial Acoustic 5T's

Looks like a lot of great recommendations already. I'll throw in the Magico A1's. I picked up a pair over the summer and couldn't be happier. They are super versatile with both stand mount or a true bookshelf (I have mine stand mounted).  Very articulate and full with plenty of low end.  Best "small" speaker I've ever owned.

Harbeth 30.1 , most true speaker I've heard ...affordable if you find a seller who has taken care of them 😃

I'd second the Legacy Audio Calibres. The AMT tweeter is very extended and airy; very good dynamics/power handling and the midrange is wonderful. I've owned a pair for 3 years and love them-

The Harbeth 30.1 monitors are fairly large 2-ways. On the face of it, they might seem kind of large for your room. They are not: I have mine in a desktop/nearfield configuration in a 13' X 13' home office, and they sound amazing.

I try not to think how great they might sound in a better setup than mine. No matter: I love them to pieces.

A pair is for sale on AG at very good price. No idea if this is a good seller, and if it  was me, I'd ask for many more pix. Still, these are well worth considering:
