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

Nothing I’ve heard at any price point, new, used, or even DIY, remotely approaches the performance value of a pre-owned pair of these (the Linbrook monitors):

The BOM of those monitors alone is worth more than the asking price. I get that you may not be looking for a value leader per se, but these Tyler models are such ridiculous value IMO that you could end up getting two pair of high end monitors rather than one, or put the savings toward future med expenses (which all of us will have eventually). I recently bought a pre-owned pair of Tyler’s smaller Taylo Ref monitors that utilize the same Seas drivers, along with top-shelf crossover parts. I am astounded at how well they perform for what I paid. I would have no reservations of pitting them against any current </=$10K/pair monitors. They are detailed yet warm, produce no cabinet noise, and are endlessly listenable with ZERO fatigue.

Someone had referenced Raidho C or D early on. Having a lot of experience with the line I would skip the middle tier entirely. If on a budget, the X1 “varietals” are outstanding for the money. However, the TD series, starting with the 1.2’s, is in a completely different stratosphere. Paired with complimentary level components, they are end game for many. Further, one should pay no attention to retail, they can be had new at -40% of listed price.
