High end bookshelf speakers for Small room

@saurabhgarg I have heard the TAD ME-1 and it is an excellent speaker. Use some warm gear with it for that Beryllium driver. However, I thought it would be too much for my small office, unless I used DSP or more treatments. My dealer for this speaker also said it may be a mistake to get the ME-1 for my 12 x 11 x 9 room but  I have 4 extra feet from a removed closet door.

When I had my KEF LS50 Meta in this room it needed acoustic treatments to make it work with my KEF KC62 sub. It was a great setup for the price. 

My current Magnepan LRS+ and KEF KC62 sub is a better fit in the small room. I removed the first reflection panels for this speaker and the sound stage is massive. with a lot of depth. It is not as revealing as the ME-1 or the LS50 Meta. I understand Magnepan has a more expensive iteration of this speaker that is supposed to be more detailed (or it could be the speaker one step above the LRS+).

I have not head this LRS+ 'clone' yet but it is supposed to be better and perfect for a small room.

I wanted to hear the new

Clarisys PICCOLO

but was not able to, but did hear the $65k top end model with a $100k CH Precsion amp. It sounded really good, and the Piccolo would work in a small room.

Another option and one I will make soon is the RAAL 1995 Immanis ($10k) headphones for a small room. Drop the room from consideration.

@perazzi28 You need a big room for the NS5000 unless you use DSP or a lot of treatment. I have it in a big space and would never try it in the small office. The NS5000 is a "bookshelf" in name only. it is a huge speaker. The real bookshelf NS3000 may work in the small space but I have not been able to hear it. Only place that I know where you can get it is in Canada and they did not have it on the floor for demo.

@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.

Are there any stand mounted small speakers that you are actually familiar with?

Those Endeavors are quite good in their own right 

I am sure that your Def Leppard CDs do sound good played back on those speakers.

@tshark 

dont forget the op has a small room.  

to your point i love the sound a subwoofer makes and have a hunch they can integrate well with a dynamic larger bookshelf like b&w 805 for example. 

i have not been able to 100% integrate subs and floorstanders. 

 a sub and bookshelf combo could be a better overall answer than most floorstanding speakers.  

Op we recommend a speaker designed for a small room with limited bass response

Many of the previous recommended loud speakers are excellent but will over load such a small room

@audiotroy , Could you explain how a very tiny room such as your car's cabin just seems to never get "overloaded", while you've been driving all these years?

Also, what is "overloading" and what does a "overloaded" room sound like? Curious to know...(it could shed some great insight on this phenomenon of "overloading" or something else in acoustics, something psychological, etc).
