Yeah, I have extensive experience with small room set-ups from an acoustical standpoint. I assume your room is a perfect rectangle/square all around? Also, your ceiling is probably 8', right? If this is the case you need to be using ONLY 25" stands or shorter for 2 way monitor speakers. With an 8' ceiling, and small room dimmensions, is almost impossible to get good bass when the speakers are up higher on stands(26" and higher). Also, you will DEFINITELY have to play around with speaker placment in that room quite a bit to get the sound adequate from where you sit(probably against the wall, correct?). That scenario already will have some problems with bass response sounding boomy. You'll likely either have to get some small floor standers, or use 2 way ported speakers out into the room a bit, or do acoustic suspension sealed speaekers that can go a bit closer to the front wall. Sill, you want to stay away from really full range speakers in that tiny room, and cocentrate on bass limited speakers. Then, you can use your woofer if you need to, and perferablly EQ the sub!!!...for flat response from where you sit.
I know of what I speak, as my last room, using higher end gear, was 10.5' X 12.5' x 8'...and it was a bear to get my little ported SF Minima Amators to sound good in that room. I also had Thiel 1.5's in the room which worked great if you got em off the floor a bit, and tried Thiel 2.3's as well (too much bass for the room).
However, for your room, may I strongly suggest that you will do NO BETTER Sonically, and practically wise, then the Merlin Millenium TSM acousic suspension monitors!!! They are perfect for small rooms, are class A rated monitor for sure, work great with tube gear, or lower powered SS as well, and are easier to place in small rooms with their design! Not being ported they even usually work well closer to walls in small rooms.
They retail for $2500/pr new, and are a steal! I know, I own them currently myself. Anway, go to www.merlinmusic.com if you want specs and review.
