Speakers for 2nd System!


Folks, I’m putting together 2nd system in a small room. This room doubles up as home office space.  The dimensions are 12’ D x 11’ W x 8’ H.  

I am open to recommendations for bookshelves or floor standers with a small footprint. I won’t be adding subs due to limited space. High efficiency 96db and above speakers are preferred. 

The system components so far, 

Leben CS600X - 28-32W

Technics SL - 1200M7B with Hana ML

Softone Model 4 Phono

Raysonic CD128 

Cables - Sternklang (ribbon) IC and Speaker with HIJIRI “Nagomi” Power Cords. 

Budget, I would like to stay under $5k but wouldn’t mind going over for something exemplary. Not interested in DIY projects or ugly stuff - aesthetics and high performance are equally important..lol! 

Thank you!

I faced a similar situation looking for speakers to pair with a decware tube amp for a home office somewhat bigger than your room but still not huge.  I settled on Omega Super Alnicos and honestly remain stunned at how good they are for the price (sub 3k).  They are at 96db or a little higher sensitivity I believe. Very musical, wonderful midrange and have nice characteristics of a single driver speaker.  Also, more than enough base for my space. I wasn’t sure at first whether I’d need a sub. 
 

I was also really happy with the cabinetry.  The veneers are beautifully done.
