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 know the Leben quite well (also the smaller sibling, the CS300), and it’s a fine amp. I might try and look for a used pair of WLM Diva’s (the floor standing model as an outset), which are very good speakers built around a 10" coaxial driver with a stated 97dB sensitivity. At the time I heard them over the Almarro 318B amp, a lovely pairing, and my guess is the Diva’s will mate well the CS600X. Being a single point source per channel you’ll also be able to sit fairly close to the speakers and still have excellent summation. To boot: with their slender and finely veneered shape they're nice on the eyes, I find.
