Best speakers for small listening room

I'm new to audio and am setting up a mid-priced system for my home office. The space is small (11'x11'x8'). I currently have B&W 803 Matrix, Sound Anchor stands, Plinius 8150i, Creek CD-43, Harmonic Tech truthlinks and Pro-9s. Would stand mounted speakers (JMLabs micro utopias or the Dynaudio Confidence 3's) be a good choice for this small space? Thanks.

either speaker will do well, but you will almost surely need to do some acoustic treatment to make em' sound their best, since you have the dreaded "square room." tougher, IMO, than the tricky "L". -kelly

Every room in my house is square. Standing waves are driving me crazy. I dont know the speakers mentioned but best to stay away from the ones that have an upper or mid-bass hump to compensate for their size.

paulwp: ouch! 'course if you take out a wall and combine two of your rooms, you'll have very workable space. but then there are many of us who can only dream of this alternative. -kelly
