New room needs new speakers, I need your help

Lots of great recommendations for speakers from others, so I won't recommend speakers. I also have a small listening room, and my room is even smaller than yours and it is both my office and 2-channel music listening room. I went through a number of speakers and integrated amplifiers and settled on Focal Supra N°1 speakers on Focal stands, paired with Naim Uniti Nova integrated amp/streamer. What made the room & my setup come alive was when I added acoustic panels and reduced a lot of reflections. I feel it is easier to get by without adding anything, except maybe some carpets to reduce sound reflection in a large room, but with a small room the sound I was getting was far from ideal due to all the reflections. Getting decent (and still nice looking) acoustic panels in the past used to very costly, but these days you can fairly good acoustic panels for a good price and they look good as well. You can also do some simple sound measurement once you decide and buy your speakers and see if you need acoustic panels or not before buying them.
