Requesting Your Expertise - Best Options - High Sensitivity Speakers For A Smaller Room

As the title says, I am looking into the best options for higher sensitivity speakers for a somewhat small room. The room itself is 12.5 feet by 9.5 feet. The speakers would be placed along the 12.5 foot wall. Amplifier power is 8wpc. 

The system will be used for a variety of music, including folk, instrumental, rock, jazz, and singer songwriter offerings. Budget is a max of $3k, used. And a quality subwoofer, chosen specifically for the room, and use with whatever speakers that I choose, is available to employ.  

I already have some ideas, but, clearly, none of us are aware of everything, and, in the higher sensitivity space, things can get a bit tricky. Your experiences, thoughts, recommendations and expertise would be appreciated in terms of outlining all the worthwhile options available. Thanks.

I run Fritz Carrera be speakers with 8w 300b in a slightly larger room (~11’x17’), but on the short wall and am very happy with the sound.

Wavetouch Antero V2 speaker. V2 is the most accurate speaker (closest to the original music). Below is their sound. The room is 14' x 22' x 8' with 35w int amp. Price is right on your budget. Alex/Wavetouch audio

Original music -- Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven

I realize this isn’t the ideal situation, as a few of you have noted. Smaller room, high sensitivity speakers is a tough ask. These speakers tend to be large. But then I wouldn’t need to come here for expertise and recommendations if it was something easier. :)

 

The power amp is a Coincident Frankenstein 300B MK V. 

 

And yes, in a perfect world, I would love a pair of Volti Razz! Granted, but, as mentioned, they don’t fall near my price range, even used. I’m also not positive how they would play in this size room. 

I am considering Omega’s. I am a fan of the Fritz speakers, but never thought they would work with 8wpc?

maybe  even the Herasy's but the Audionote speakers are made for this type of set up. The wall/corner position is what they are designed for. more musical then the Herasy by a long shot.
