Monitors for a small room - please help

I've begun the difficult task of finding a new set of speakers and an amp for my now-smaller listening room. I prefer smooth, warm, musical speakers over a dry, analytical sound. Detail is always good, but I don't like detail that sounds forced or unnatural. Musicality is important, and so is timbre and musical texture.

So given those facts, what pair of monitors can you suggest that will fit my tastes and a small listening room?

Thanks

I personally believe that you would really, really enjoy these speakers: http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrmoni&1291325518&/Star-Sound-Technology-Caravell

I have a pair that I'm using in my 10' x 12.5' room.

I will ask you one more time to please consider the Caravelles from Star Sound Technology.

Here's a pre-review: http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/starsound/caravelle.html

The reason I'm suggesting these speakers is that they're $5000.00 new and now selling in the Audiogon ad for only $1900.00.

I use them myself in a small room like yours, so I know that they'll work extremely well for you. I've compared these to the Harbeth SHL5, Dynaudio C1 and Focal Utopia BE and chose these.

I've used these with a Musical Fidelity A308cr amp, Herron M1 amp, Karan KA I-180 integrated amp, Burmester 036 amp and now my Spectron Musiciam III amp. These speakers work well with all of these.

If you buy a speaker of this quality right now at the steal of a price, chances are it will work very well with your current set up. Later down the line you can upgrade and add an integrated, and have yourself a really great sounding system.
