Room too small - any suggestions

I have to temporarily relocate the music to a small room - 10w x 10d x 10h (so I guess it is a cube!). Seating position can be no further than 8 feet from the rear wall (due to room configuration).

System is Sony SCD-1 into BAT 3i and VK60 monoblocks. Yeah it is overkill but it isn't forever. My Vandys are way too big for the room and the bass is a major problem as I can't get much more than 18 inches from the side walls and 2 feet from the rear.

Any suggestions - mainly listen to Jazz. Prefer to keep it under $3K.

Thanks

Pops and Charlie, Elizabeth has the answer. It may the reflections that I worry about because of what happens in my larger small room arent a problem for Charlie and wouldnt be for you Pops because you're so so close to the speakers. If that's so, then I certainly agree with Charlie about the Harbeth Compact 7's. They are my main speakers and they do everything I want a speaker to do.

The only problem with the Harbeths is finding a pair to listen to. Where do you live Pops?

I would highly recommend the Dynaudio 1.3 SE. You can find them at around $3,000.00 with stands and they are just an all around top performer. I thought that this was going to be a very analytical trip but the highs that come out of this breadbox sized bird's eye maple block are the best I have ever heard regardless. There are not deep on the low side but I tend to not use my sub when it is a top level recording just to hear how well these play the bass that they have. All right, I was able to reach the ammonia cap and I am back. But I am serious.
