New room needs new speakers, I need your help

With your preferences I would avoid the Clayton Shaw Caladans. They are rather hot in the presence region (upper mid to lower treble).

Fyne F1-8 are a standmount speaker with an adjustable presence control. You might find they meet your needs. Very expensive new, but I know where you can get a beautiful used pair within your budget.

Also, the QLN suggestion someone else made is a good one if you can find them used.

I wouldn’t write off Harbeth based on their limitations with music you dont listen to.

I own 40.3 XDs and had the opportunity to compare them with 30.2 XDs paired with 2 REL subs while they were up for sale.

They really held their own in a big room. They don’t rock out and they don’t do classical well (at least not loud) but Jazz, vocals, blues, well recorded music like Dire Straits (self titled) - very nice and not at all fatiguing.

Not the only game in town though…good luck.

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. 

Have to agree with the Clayton Shaw Caladans, being open baffle they need more room. I had them in a small room for a month or so, but really started to shine in a larger space.....and soften up. Otherwise I LOVE my Caladans.
