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 am digressing- but any views on the Hegel H590? I might be able to get one for a decent price.

I've heard everything mentioned except for TAD and Raidho and recommend the B&W 805 D4 or even the D3.  Spooky realism and resolution.  Lov' em.

ProAc has been mentioned previously, but I like the ProAc Tablette 10's and 2 REL T/5x subs for that room. They work wonderfully together in a smaller room.

I’ve been disappointed with most bookshelf speakers that I’ve owned. I compare everything to sonics of good floor standers. Funny thing is most bookshelf speakers when put on stands, have footprint of floor standers anyway!
My small room is about 13x13. 
I purchased Von Schweikert Endeavour’s. Just amazing. Didn’t pop for auto finish colors, saved about $4k. Went with black stain on Ash. Amazing sound with McIntosh MA8900.  Can grow into separates with these speakers down the road. 
 

Just a thought

@tshark ...this very straightforward sentence has been very hard for many audiogoldenears  to comprehend forever (later on, some lil weeny bookshelf on a rickety lil stand will defy all physics and do them some kinda miracle, apparently). The cable and dac can be enormous however.

Those Endeavors are quite good in their own right , though facing some stiff competition these days.
