If the room is really small (like my 18sqm study) I think nothing beats the Harbeth P3ESR speakers. Since they are a closed system, they can also be located relatively closely to the wall. In a somewhat larger room one could add two small subwoofers (works a treat, I tried it, but with Antimode 8033 equalization), and or move up to the Harbeth M30.1.
Electronics would depend on the sources that are required. Assuming a TV and discs are also part of the story, I would go for an Oppo UDP205 as a universal player, serving as a pre amplifier as well. Chromecast Audio for streaming. Add a 2x100 watt power amplifier (or more in a larger room and with the M30.1) with balanced inputs. Benchmark AHB2 if you want the best, Emotiva if budget matters.
If a disc player is unneccessary, why not a Yamaha RN 803d?
