I have a dedicated 11.5x11.5x.11.5 untreated carpeted room. I have a pair of Focal Diablo Utopia III's, with a REL subwoofer that I would recommend for a small room, especially when powered by a good tube amp. I use a PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premier HP with them and the sound is excellent. I have also used a pair of Pulsars instead, which are also excellent, but on balance, I think that the Focal's edge the Pulsars out in my setup with all but my collection of Led Zep bootlegs. The bass response on the Focal's is not as dominant as with the Pulsars in a small room, so if you don't like the Pulsars, I think that the Focal's are an excellent choice.
