Bookshelf speakers for small room


I have a small room and listen rather closely.  I'm using a Uniti Atom and some older Martin Logan 4s and looking to upgrade the whole system with a great turntable, tube amp and a different DAC.  A local dealer demo'd me on the Harbeth P3 XD's and the vocals came through with crystal clarity- loved the sound!  But he played it loud and I'm playing at very low volumes (kids, wife, small house).  

What are some good bookshelf options for a small room and streamed music (and vinyl) played at lower volumes?   A good tube amp/DAC to match??

In my home office set up I use a pair of Martin Logan 35XT biwired connected to a Bluesound Powernode 2i (I previously had the Powernode 2) and Definitive Supercube 2000 sub. I’ve this set up since 2015 and upgraded to PowerNode 2i in 2020. I also use Roon, Tidal MQA for streaming. Radio Paradise now streams MQA free of charge and can give you a chance to listen to MQA stream for free. I can honestly say I’ve enjoyed the sound over the years in a 13’ x 11’ room. I use a  Dragonfly cobalt Audioquest DAC for headphone listening in my office powering Audeze LCD-3, Sennheizer HD-650, and Master & Dynamic headphones.
