Bookshelf speaker pairing with subwoofer

I have a pair of REL Ti9 subs in my dedicated listening room which is 12 x 17. I am looking for a pair of bookshelf speakers that would pair well with the subs. Searching on my own and watching reviews has made a choice even worse. So many to choose from. I mostly listen to jazz and blues with some classic rock thrown in. I have a good SACD collection and several dsd files. There are no audiophile stores close to me.

Any input would be appreciated.

I have similar listening tastes and a REL sub, but would need more info on the rest of your system to make any recommendation.

Agreed, more info. Equipment you will be using. 

I assume you mean stand mounted... you're not actually going to position them on a bookshelf. Then, you want compact speakers because of the way they sound? 

I have heard spectacular sounding $15K stand mounted speakers... without subwoofers. 

I definitely would take a trip. I used to live over a hundred miles from a proper city... I'd get up early and drive up for a day of listening. Later, I would make it a point to visit shops while on buisness trips.
