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

@tshark 

dont forget the op has a small room.  

to your point i love the sound a subwoofer makes and have a hunch they can integrate well with a dynamic larger bookshelf like b&w 805 for example. 

i have not been able to 100% integrate subs and floorstanders. 

 a sub and bookshelf combo could be a better overall answer than most floorstanding speakers.

Op we recommend a speaker designed for a small room with limited bass response

Many of the previous recommended loud speakers are excellent but will over load such a small room

@audiotroy , Could you explain how a very tiny room such as your car's cabin just seems to never get "overloaded", while you've been driving all these years?

Also, what is "overloading" and what does a "overloaded" room sound like? Curious to know...(it could shed some great insight on this phenomenon of "overloading" or something else in acoustics, something psychological, etc).

Maybe because he isn't running Von Schweikerts for his car audio?  

 

Guess I should have asked about room size before connecting on the footprint of stand mounts. Good point Avanti!  
 

To imattews - I use B&W 804D3 in another room and tried to go the bookshelf route with Graham & Harbeth. I’m 64 y/o and did grow up on Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, etc but have never listened to Def Leopard. I enjoy most anything except hard rock and Classical.
