High end bookshelf speakers for Small room


I have to downsize my listening room. Looking to get a pair of bookshelf speakers for a room size 13x14 which has furniture carpet and I plan to do some acoustic treatment if needed. Would love to get some subs as well. Currently I have rels510 which might be too much for this small room.. 

My audio chain - Aurender N20, dCS Rossini + clock, luxman509z amp. 

Music preference - Acoustic, rock, pop, piano, instrumental.. pretty much different genres. 

Sound preference - bold close to you vocals, clean detailed sound. Slightly warm is fine. 

Current candidates - TAD ME/CE, Joseph audio pulsar2, dynaaudio, Sonia Faber.. 

Any inputs here are much appreciated.. thanks in advance

I'll also recommend the Reference 3A Reflectors based on your room size and listening preferences.  I downsized my listening room (13 x15), and my Legacy Focus speakers were just too overwhelming.  The stand-mount Reflectors worked perfectly.  I then went with a pair of Coincident Frankenstein 300B monobloc amplifiers, a Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme preamp, and finished it off with the Grimm MU2 (DAC, streamer, ROON server) on a single upright stand.  No more big, honkin' gear with cables running everywhere.  Oh yeah, I added about $5k of acoustic treatment on the walls, ceiling and corners which made a huge improvement on the sound.  As @paulcreed stated, the Reflectors are "not bright it's very natural with a big wide deep layered soundstage that goes beyond the outside boundaries of the speaker."  They are rather heavy, especially with Sound Anchor stands, about 150lbs total, but manageable.
