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.

In my 12x24 room with 8' ceiling and no acoustical treatment yet, I am getting very good results with PS Audio Aspen FR5's on stands paired with an ELAC 3010 Sub...don't usually need the sub for most music I listen to (acoustic, Jam, jazz)...for reggae I turned up the sub to maybe 50%, but otherwise, very sweet and rewarding sound. PS Audio offers a trade-in up to $875 on the speakers making them $2600, plus if you want the stands another $500. They offer generous 30 day in home audition too.

I thought about the PS Audio FR5's. Are they bright at all?

I'd look for speakers with less bass

you are probably right. My Legacy Studio HD speakers clash with the REL's and the amt tweeter is a might much. Toe in and out does not seem to help much.

Q Accoutics 300 would be a great pairing. Sound better than speakers 3x their cost.
