small speakers for small room

hello, i would like to set up a bed room system, and hope that you can give me some advice

Currently I have AQ dragonfly USB DAC, a musical fidelity X-A1 vintage int. amp (50W*2), now I am looking for passive speakers

My bed room is very small (2M*3M), so the speakers cannot put too far from the wall (~20cm). And I am looking for small one, less wide than 17cm.

My music taste is mainly pop music and electronic music (kraftwerk, pet shop boys..); but i listen to jazz, rock and classical sometimes too. I dislike bright sound (from the experience of using monitor audio).

My budget is <1200 USD, I have shortlisted the following:
Proac tablette series
PSB imagine mini
Spendor SA1
Rega RS1

I dont mind to use vintage stuff too.
Could you give me some advice? I know it is a great space constraint though.

Thanks a lot in advance.

I've done a lot of playing around with small speakers in the last couple of years, because my wife insisted on having an entertainment center, which limited my speaker choices to those under 13" tall and they were being place on shelves.

I've had good luck with System Audio SA-505s, Peachtree D5s, B&W 685s (tight squeeze for me), and Minuets. In the end, I settled on Paradigm Studio 10s. They were all good. It came down to more of a matter of taste for me.

I didn't look into anything by Harbeth or Spendor because I couldn't justify the expense for the application.
