High end bookshelf speakers for Small room

Aerial Acoustics 5T are great speakers.  If you like those, I'd recommend adding NSMT 15SE to the list.  To me, it's the 5T with more transparency (lower noise floor/darker background), more solid soundstaging (placement of singer/instruments) and a bit more "boogie" to the music.  I've listen both with vocals (Eva Cassidy, Beck), indie rock, EDM (LCD Soundsystem) and all sound wonderful where the NSMT 15SE was definitely a qualitative upgrade from the 5T.

I am digressing- but any views on the Hegel H590? I might be able to get one for a decent price.

I've heard everything mentioned except for TAD and Raidho and recommend the B&W 805 D4 or even the D3.  Spooky realism and resolution.  Lov' em.  

ProAc has been mentioned previously, but I like the ProAc Tablette 10's and 2 REL T/5x subs for that room. They work wonderfully together in a smaller room.

I’ve been disappointed with most bookshelf speakers that I’ve owned. I compare everything to sonics of good floor standers. Funny thing is most bookshelf speakers when put on stands, have footprint of floor standers anyway!
My small room is about 13x13. 
I purchased Von Schweikert Endeavour’s. Just amazing. Didn’t pop for auto finish colors, saved about $4k. Went with black stain on Ash. Amazing sound with McIntosh MA8900.  Can grow into separates with these speakers down the road. 
 

Just a thought
