Best speaker for small room?

Hi, looking at different speaker systems that would work in a small (10'X10') listening room. I want something tonally accurate that image really well. Can be full range or small as I can add a small sub if need be. I've been considering single driver speakers (although I've never owned a pair), monitors, and floorstanders. My associated components are a McIntosh MC-7300, Juicy Music Peach Tube Preamp, and a Denon DVD-2930ci (for CD and SACD playback). Any suggestions on the speakers? I'm looking preowned $1500 or less.

With all of the power your amp has why not try a pair of Magnepan MG 12

I have Ohm MicroWalsh Talls in a small room. It's hard to get good imaging for more than one listening position in a little room, but these do the job. You wont be able to spend all your money as they're under $1K in several choices of finish.
But save $4 to buy two pavers at the garden center to stand the speakers on to perfect the bass if your room is carpeted.

I recommend Silverline Audio Preludes (floorstanders), Minuets or LCR's (monitors)...midrange is amazing...as is bass response...with easy to drive 8ohm design...

Disclaimer: I do rep for Silverline Audio...

one of the best combos i ever had was a pair of spendor ls3/5's with an mc7300....i suspect the stirling ls3/5 would sound great too.
