Small room amp and speakers recommendation


I have an area in allocated in my new house for a listen room that is approximately 7ft x 12ft x 10 ceilings....i know it's small, hut it's all mine away from the kids. I am look for advice/recommendations on an amp and speakers for that area. I want to keep the budget under $5k (the lower the better). I listen to a lot of vinyl and a majority or my preferred music is acoustic with some rock mixed in on occasion. Please let me know what you think and if you have an other questions on my desired set-up.
Thank you

I haven't been impressed as I thought I would with the KEFs fof certain music. I love them in a home theater setting but lack a little on the high end on acoustic music. On the other side of that it feels like B&W can be a bit harsh on the highs give a bit of fatigue after a lot of listening...but both of these could always be from the amp they were hooked up too.
Thanks so far for all the advice, I have been reading a lot over the past 2 days. I was kinda hoping a few speakers and amps would keep getting recommended so a could focus my search, but I can see just how subjective audio equipment can be.
I am going to research more into the sizing of the room to try and tweak the acoustics as much as possible. 
I know I will be running vinyl on this system, as I have a brand new project carbon espirit turntable, other than that, I assume eventually I will stream of get a good cd player.
Overall, I want to try and keep the system simple, 2 channel amp, speakers, good interconnects and the turntable...although I am probably missing something.

I am heavily leaning toward PrimaLuna after researching, as I have always loved the sound of tune amps, I just need to find a place to demo it.
Still up in the air on the soeakers, seems like a few leans for the KEF LS50's, I have only listened to the R3's hooked up to a Rotel 2-channel amp. 
I measured the room again and the outer dimensions can be 7.2' x 13' x 9.7' high, so I need to look at the dimensions a bit more to optimize the acoustics.
